GPT 6.1 Terra is a strong frontier model baseline for document parsing.

✅ It spikes at table parsing, coming in 5th on our overall leaderboard, ahead of 6 Sol and behind Opus 5.5 / Astra
✅ It is decent at content faithfulness and reading order
✅ It struggles on layout, charts, and formatting

Coming in at ~1c per page, it's not a bad option for table-heavy pages! You can use these alongside specialized OCR solutions (like LlamaParse) that will give more consistent performance across a variety of dimensions.
