GPT‑6 Astra

GPT‑6 Astra is a new OpenAI model rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and soon to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise users, and via the OpenAI API and AWS. It is priced at $10/million input and $50/million output, matching Claude Fable 5/5.1, and outperforms Fable on most OpenAI self‑reported benchmarks, achieving 99.9% on the ARC‑AGI 3 benchmark with a custom Provider Adapter harness. Astra excels in security tasks—scoring 100% on ExploitBench, 42.4% on ExploitGym, and 99.2% on SRE‑Bench—and handles long context well, hitting 100% on OpenAI’s eight‑needle benchmark at 256K–512K tokens and 96.3% at 512K–1M tokens, though it remains behind Fable on the Intelligence Index and Meta’s Muse Spark 1.3.
