When to choose GPT-5.6 Terra
Repository-scale code review
Trace behavior across files, identify failure paths, and propose a scoped patch plan.
Prompt starter
Review the attached code for [goal]. Trace the request end to end, list findings by severity with file evidence, then propose the smallest safe patch and focused tests.
Image and interface analysis
Read screenshots or product images and turn visible evidence into findings and actions.
Prompt starter
Inspect the attached images for [goal]. Separate what is directly visible from inference. Return annotated findings, priority, and concrete next actions.
Structured professional draft
Create a usable brief, proposal, specification, or report with explicit sections and criteria.
Prompt starter
Draft a [deliverable] for [audience]. Use this source material: [context]. Required sections: [sections]. Keep claims evidence-based and end with decisions and next actions.

What inputs does GPT-5.6 Terra currently support in PixMind?
This PixMind route accepts text and images. Video, audio, or PDF availability is shown separately and should not be inferred from the model family. The current catalog flags: text, vision.
How should I prompt GPT-5.6 Terra?
Separate the goal, context, constraints, and output contract. Reserve the highest reasoning effort for tasks where extra latency and cost are justified.
How is GPT-5.6 Terra usage priced?
Current directory pricing is 1477.84 input points and 8867.04 output points per 1 million tokens.
When should I choose another model over GPT-5.6 Terra?
GPT-5.6 Terra is positioned for balanced everyday reasoning and multimodal work. Check the comparison table when lower cost, different input support, or a heavier reasoning tier matters more.
What should I do if a GPT-5.6 Terra response stops?
A network interruption, insufficient balance, or temporary model availability can stop a reply. Before resending, check whether token usage and points were already settled.
