GPT-6.1 Terra API in Russia — no VPN, no foreign card

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="sk-...",
base_url="https://www.ruapi.ai/v1",
)
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-6.1-terra",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)Replace sk-... with a key from the RuAPI Console — the model gpt-6.1-terra is already set.
GPT-6.1 Terra API price
Current price in US dollars — the same as on the pricing page. Pay in USDT, pay as you go, no subscription.
| model | input $ / 1M | output $ / 1M |
|---|---|---|
| gpt-6.1-terra | $1.20 cache read $0.0600 >272K: $2.40 | $6.00 >272K: $9.00 |
Input is the regular price of input tokens, “cache read” is the price of input tokens served from the prompt cache, output is the price of output tokens. The price in your account may be lower.
The grey “>272K” line is the vendor’s official tier for long prompts: when a prompt exceeds the threshold, the whole request is billed at that tier.
What is GPT-6.1 Terra
GPT-6.1 Terra was released on October 26, 2026. OpenAI describes it as a fast, efficient model for visual reasoning, precise computer use and clear, natural writing. It accepts text and images and replies in text. The context window is 1.05M tokens (up to 922K of input), responses run up to 128K tokens, and its knowledge goes up to June 1, 2026.
Reasoning effort ranges from none to max, medium by default. According to OpenAI's docs, tool calling for this model only works through the Responses API; on RuAPI, Chat Completions requests with tools work too — we convert them to the Responses API ourselves, so Cline and other Chat Completions clients connect without changes. If the input is longer than 272K tokens, the whole request is billed at the higher tier, just as with OpenAI.
