OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra on Sept. 3. Early users reported strong performance in 3D space reconstruction, game creation and desktop task automation, while giving lower marks for writing than the prior GPT-5.6 Sol model. Astra costs $10 per 1 million input tokens and $50 per 1 million output tokens, 2.5 times GPT-5.6 Sol. OpenAI said Astra improved desktop-task results and security capability, and is rolling it out via ChatGPT tiers, APIs and cloud platforms.
