What changes which one costs less

Prompt caching
Cache reads cost $0.05 per million, 5% of the input price on GPT-6.1 Terra, and $0.01 per million, 10% of the input price on GPT-6 Luna. The more of each prompt you reuse, the more this decides the bill.
Cache writes
GPT-6.1 Terra charges $1.25 per million tokens written to cache. GPT-6 Luna charges $0.125 per million tokens written to cache.
Long prompts
On GPT-6.1 Terra, prompts over 272,000 tokens cost $2.00 input and $7.50 output for the whole request. On GPT-6 Luna, prompts over 272,000 tokens cost $0.20 input and $0.75 output for the whole request. A 300 prompt costs $0.615 on GPT-6.1 Terra and $0.061 on GPT-6 Luna.
Batch API
GPT-6.1 Terra costs 50% less through the Batch API: $0.50 input and $2.50 output. GPT-6 Luna costs 50% less through the Batch API: $0.05 input and $0.25 output.
Quality and retries
Price is half the decision. A cheaper model that needs more retries, longer prompts or a human fix can cost more per finished task.
