It probably didn't see that much use, as it struggled to find a niche. If you wanted intelligence tasks, Sol was cheap enough and much smarter. If you wanted performance and cost-effectiveness, Luna was significantly better value while being only a little less intelligent.

Terra ended up just being an awkward middle ground that was not particularly suited for any workload.

I disagree. After a bit of experimenting, I actually found Terra to be a very good workhorse model on none-to-medium reasoning, and I actually quite prefer its code to Sol's in many cases. It has less of a complexity to over-complicate things. Where Sol would have a sea of try/except and recoveries for situations that are structurally impossible, Terra would just write nice, sequential code.

Maybe for one-shotting large things Sol is better, but for prod code where I decompose into smaller tasks and read all the code I favored Terra.

Sol 5.6 was still king for architecture/research in my workflow, though.

I have found it worked quite well as the workhorse model in my hermes agent.

The users of Terra disagree. Specifically, Terra is useful when medium-grade intelligence is needed in instant ("none" thinking) mode.

Hardly enough time had passed to develop the data to come to a conclusion. Users can take time to develop an interest.

Well, naturally people who use it are doing so because they like it. But I'm sure OpenAI is looking at the relative value/usage of Terra next to the other tiers.
