GPT-5.6 vs GPT-5.6 Terra
什麼情況選哪一個
Terra 是半價的 GPT-5.6（$2.5/$15 對比 $5/$30），並具備相同的 1.05M 上下文。如果您的流量不需要完整模型的上限，Terra 屬於同系列、相同視窗但花費減半的選擇——這正是適當調整規模的定義。

同一段提示詞，兩個模型，經閘道實測
GPT-5.6 通過 · 3 sentences
Enabling reasoning makes the model generate many additional internal tokens before producing an answer, so each request consumes substantially more compute. Those reasoning tokens are billed even though they are not visible to users, and longer processing can also increase tool calls, retries, and output length. The bill doubled because our cost per request rose, not necessarily because usage volume increased; we can control it by limiting reasoning effort and routing simpler tasks to cheaper models.

Enabling reasoning makes the model generate additional internal analysis tokens and perform more computation before producing the final answer, increasing usage per request. Those extra tokens are billed like other model output or are reflected in higher-priced reasoning-model rates, so even unchanged user traffic can cost substantially more. The bill doubled because average cost per request rose, likely from longer reasoning traces, more complex model routing, or both.

```python def longest_run(xs): if not xs: return 0 best = cur = 1 for i in range(1, len(xs)): if xs[i] == xs[i - 1]: cur += 1 else: best = max(best, cur) cur = 1 return max(best, cur) ``` The original code counted equal *transitions* rather than items, so a run of one had length `0`, a run of three had length `2`, and tracking from zero caused the off-by-one error. The corrected version starts each run at length `1`, resets to `1` when the value changes, and performs a final `max` after the loop so a run ending at the last element is included; an empty input still returns `0`.

```python def longest_run(xs): if not xs: return 0 best = 1 cur = 1 for i in range(1, len(xs)): if xs[i] == xs[i - 1]: cur += 1 else: cur = 1 best = max(best, cur) return best ``` The bug is that `cur` and `best` were counting adjacent *matches* rather than the number of items in a run: a run of one item has zero matching adjacent pairs, and a run of length `n` has only `n - 1` such pairs. Initializing both counters to `1` for a nonempty list and resetting `cur` to `1` when the value changes makes them represent actual run lengths. Updating `best` on every iteration also ensures a run that continues through the final element is included.

Today we are introducing Prompt Cache, a new API gateway feature that stores reusable prompt prefixes and serves them across supported model providers. By recognizing identical system instructions, tools, examples, and context blocks, Prompt Cache reduces repeated input processing, lowers latency, and helps control token costs without changing application code. Teams can configure retention windows, cache keys, provider routing, encryption, and regional storage policies from one dashboard or API. What happens when a preferred provider is unavailable? The gateway can route requests to another provider while reusing eligible cached content, preserving performance and consistency. Built-in metrics report hit rates, savings, latency, and provider usage, while audit logs support governance. Prompt Cache is available today in public preview for all customers.

Today, our API gateway introduces cross-provider prompt caching, reducing repeated token processing while preserving your existing model routing. Teams can store reusable system prompts, policy blocks, and long context prefixes once, then serve them to supported providers with consistent cache keys and observability. The feature tracks hit rates, latency savings, and estimated cost reductions in the dashboard you already use for requests. Why pay to recompute identical context on every call? Configure cache policies by route, tenant, model, or TTL, and fall back automatically when a provider lacks compatible caching. Built-in controls help protect sensitive data through encryption, regional settings, and explicit expiration. Start with a single endpoint, compare results across providers, and scale prompt reuse without rewriting application logic.

GPT-5.6 和 GPT-5.6 Terra 哪個比較便宜？
以「輸入 / 1M tokens」來看，GPT-5.6 Terra 比較便宜（$2.5 對 $5，相差 2.0×）。其他項目的結果可能相反，完整價目請看上表；實際成本要看你的用量組合。
可以只串接一次，就對 GPT-5.6 和 GPT-5.6 Terra 做 A/B 測試嗎？
可以。兩個模型都走同一個 OpenAI 相容端點，用的也是同一把 API 金鑰，切換時只要改一行裡的模型名稱字串。你可以把一部分流量分別導到兩邊，再直接比較帳單。
GPT-5.6 與 GPT-5.6 Terra 支援提示詞快取嗎？
支援。兩者的快取讀取費率都低於輸入費率，所以前綴已經進快取的工作負載，實際成本會比官網價算出來的低。確切的快取讀取價格請見上方定價表。
