What is GPT-5.6 Terra Pro?

GPT-5.6 Terra Pro is the same underlying model as [GPT-5.6 Terra](https://openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-5.6-terra), served with `reasoning.mode` set to `pro` for higher-quality responses on complex tasks.

**Cost note:** pro mode spends far more...

GPT-5.6 Terra Pro carries a 1.05M token window, uses the GPT tokenizer and is served by Openai. On Hoodgen it sits in the Reasoning tier of the model menu next to its siblings, so you can switch mid conversation without losing the thread.
