GPT-5.6 Terra vs Yi-Large benchmark

This page compares GPT-5.6 Terra (OpenAI) and Yi-Large (01.AI) using the latest snapshots we have as of Aug 16, 2026. On preference Elo, GPT-5.6 Terra is ahead by 118 points (1,548 vs 1,430; seed-bootstrap (Aug 16, 2026)). On SWE-bench coding, GPT-5.6 Terra resolves 70.4% versus 53.8% (seed-bootstrap (Aug 16, 2026)). GPT-5.6 Terra streams faster (128 tok/s) while Yi-Large is the cheaper output token ($0.3/1M). GPT-5.6 Terra has the larger context window (1.1M tokens). Every cell below is a dated snapshot from a named public source — we do not invent missing scores, and we do not run SWE-bench ourselves.

Quick answer

GPT-5.6 Terra vs Yi-Large is a dated snapshot, not a lab score. GPT-5.6 Terra leads preference Elo (1,548 vs 1,430). GPT-5.6 Terra leads SWE-bench coding. Yi-Large is the cheaper output token. Elo is crowd preference, not an exam. Pick the column that matches the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall, GPT-5.6 Terra or Yi-Large?
GPT-5.6 Terra has the higher preference Elo in our latest snapshot (1,548). “Better” still depends on coding, price, and latency — see the table.
Which is better at coding, GPT-5.6 Terra or Yi-Large?
GPT-5.6 Terra leads SWE-bench at 70.4% vs 53.8%. SWE-bench is one harness, not your repo.
Which is cheaper to run in production?
Yi-Large output tokens are $0.3/1M versus $6/1M. Input prices and retry rates still move the real bill.
Which is faster, GPT-5.6 Terra or Yi-Large?
GPT-5.6 Terra has the lower time-to-first-token (160 ms vs 220 ms). Tokens/sec is a separate column if you care about long completions.
Which has the larger context window?
GPT-5.6 Terra accepts 1.1M tokens versus 33k.
Can I self-host either model?
Neither model is marked open-weights here. You are comparing hosted APIs.
Are these scores from CompareLLM’s own evals?
No. V1 aggregates public leaderboards (and optional first-party latency pings). Each cell names its source and date. Read /methodology.
What does preference Elo mean on this page?
Preference Elo is a crowd vote from LMArena / Arena. People see two hidden answers and pick the one they like more. The model that wins more often gets a higher Elo. That means people preferred it — not that it passed a school test. It is not SWE-bench, not accuracy, and not a number we invent. GPT-5.6 Terra and Yi-Large Elo cells are dated snapshots from the named source — we do not compute Arena ourselves.
