OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, its latest artificial intelligence model. The company describes Astra as its most capable and aligned model yet. The release marks a major step forward in AI performance and computer-based work.
GPT-6 Astra is designed to handle complex tasks across several professional areas. These include computer use, browsing, software engineering, science, and cybersecurity. The model can also manage detailed professional workflows from start to finish.
GPT-6 Astra Focuses on Computer Use
One of the main improvements is computer-use capability. Astra can interact with websites, applications, and digital tools. It can fill online forms, update customer records, and organize calendars.
The model can also conduct online research and prepare summaries. It can work with document editors and other professional software. Astra can analyze scientific data and create visual plots.
OpenAI also says Astra can create websites and applications. It can test websites and identify problems during development. These capabilities are designed to reduce manual work for users.
Stronger Coding and Professional Work
GPT-6 Astra also brings major improvements for software development. OpenAI calls it the company’s strongest model for software engineering to date.
The model can work through complex coding tasks and longer development workflows. It can also maintain important context during extended coding sessions.
Astra supports document, spreadsheet, and presentation creation. It can follow existing templates and maintain a consistent writing style. This makes the model useful for business and professional teams.
Advances in Science and Reasoning
OpenAI reports strong results for Astra across mathematics and scientific evaluations. The model also supports research workflows that require specialized software.
Researchers can use Astra to inspect scientific data and evaluate results. It can combine reasoning with computer-use capabilities during these tasks.
The model also achieved high scores on several reasoning benchmarks. OpenAI reported a 99.9% result on ARC-AGI-3. Astra also reached 96% on GPQA Diamond in the company’s reported evaluations.
Cybersecurity Raises the Stakes
The new model also represents a significant increase in cybersecurity capabilities. OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra reaches the Critical level under its Preparedness Framework.
This means the model can identify previously unknown security flaws. With suitable tools and access, it can develop methods to exploit vulnerabilities.
OpenAI has therefore added stronger safeguards around Astra. These include enhanced monitoring and tighter security controls. The company says safety remains an important part of the deployment process.
GPT-6 Astra Availability
OpenAI began rolling out Astra to a limited group of organizations. The company plans to expand access to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users.
Developers can also access the model through the OpenAI API. Astra is available under the model ID gpt-6-astra. OpenAI also lists Amazon Web Services as an access channel.
The API model provides a 1,050,000-token context window. It supports up to 128,000 output tokens. OpenAI lists API pricing at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens.
The release positions GPT-6 Astra as a major new model for complex AI work. Its focus extends beyond conversation into coding, research, computer use, and professional tasks.
