“ Terra has competitive performance to GPT‑5.5 [while being 2x cheaper]…”
To me that means “it’s an inferior product but marketing dictates we try and hide that.”
And “our most robust safety stack to date. We strengthened protections for higher-risk activity, sensitive cyber requests, and repeated misuse, and spent multiple weeks finding weaknesses, pressure-testing our system, and hardening it against real-world attacks” is of zero value to me at best, and most likely to my detriment (increasing refusals or nerfing utility). Why do providers keep leading with that? Are there customers (besides support ChatGPT chatbot users, maybe??) that ask for this?

I interpret this to mean you're about to get today's mainline performance at a fraction of the price.
If that was the case they would have said "equals" or "matches". Instead they say "competitive", as in win-some lose-some.
Its just lies by OpenAI dude, these people are just trying to IPO so they can buy a 100m yacht.
The point of Terra is to be cheaper than the best model while being pretty good. Of course it’s inferior in intelligence.
Maybe that message is for investors.
That message is obviously aimed at the government. See the other thread.
