Introducing GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra brings improvements in coding, research, computer use, and complex, multi-step work.

Access is rolling out to a limited set of organizations, and Astra is not yet generally available; broader availability is planned over the coming days. Astra also includes additional safety monitoring that looks for cases where an agent may not have interpreted your instructions correctly — if a potential case is detected, the conversation may be paused or stopped as a precaution for you to review and decide how to proceed.
