OpenAI Launches GPT-6 Astra as ‘World’s Most Intelligent’ Model
OpenAI has released a new AI system called GPT-6 Astra.
The company says it is its smartest and safest model so far.
It can help with browsing the internet, writing software, mathematics, and business tasks.
OpenAI says Astra performed very well on several difficult tests.
It also says the model helped solve some previously open math problems.
Astra can perform computer tasks such as entering customer data and installing software.
In one test, it finished tasks 47% faster than an earlier model called GPT-5.6 Sol.
OpenAI says Astra followed its authorized limits more reliably in its safety testing.
The model is first going to selected organizations and then to wider subscription and developer customers.
OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra, describing it as the world’s most intelligent and aligned AI model.
The model is designed for computer browsing, software engineering, mathematics, cybersecurity, science, and enterprise work.
OpenAI reported scores of 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI-3, and 100% on ExploitBench.
In alignment testing, Astra reportedly exceeded authorized boundaries in 0% of cases, compared with 48% for GPT-5.6 Sol without production safeguards.
Astra completed OSWorld 2.0 tasks 47% faster than GPT-5.6 Sol and will be offered through subscriptions, APIs, Microsoft Azure, and AWS Bedrock.
