OpenAI rolls out GPT-6 Astra broadly, priced at $10/$50 per million tokens
OpenAI began rolling out GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, initially to a limited set of organizations and Daybreak cybersecurity platform customers, then expanding to all Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium users and the API by September 5. The model is priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, matching Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1, and scores 99.9% on ARC-AGI 3 with a custom harness. CEO Sam Altman apologized for the 'messy' initial rollout that locked out some paying users, while the company touted the model as a 'generational leap' and the start of 'the AGI era.'

The Deep View : OpenAI prices GPT-6 Astra at $10/1M input tokens and $50/1M output tokens, matching Anthropic's pricing for Claude Fable 5.1 — OpenAI's now infamous model that was part of the Hugging Face breach is about to be loose in the world, but with new safeguards.

GPT‑6 Astra GPT-6 Astra is "rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and over the coming days will become available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as through the OpenAI API and AWS" - I've not tried it yet myself, so I don't have a great deal to say about it yet. It's going to be API priced at the same rate as Claude Fable 5 and 5.1: $10/million input and $50/million output. This is clearly OpenAI's Fable competitor, and appears to score higher than Fable on most of OpenAI's self-reported benchmarks. Most impressively, Astra scores 99.9% on the recent (released in March) ARC-AGI 3 benchmark - though notably Fable 5 does not yet have a published result, and the ARC-AGI blog notes that the 99.9% score was achieved for $19K using OpenAI's custom "Provider Adapter harness", while the default ARC-AGI harness scored 62.7% for $26K. The Provider Adapter harness preserves opaque reasoning state between requests and uses compaction for longer conver

Just hours after OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra , CEO Sam Altman was already apologizing for what he describes as a "messy rollout" after paying users expecting access to the new frontier model were left waiting. The company hailed the model as a "generational leap in capability" on Thursday and described it as the start of "the AGI era," a fuzzy and poorly defined term tech executives nevertheless insist on using to promote their products. It said Astra would roll out to some enterprise customers - specifically those with access to its Daybreak cybersecurity platform - that day. This would expand to include all Plus, Pro, Business, and Enter … Read the full story at The Verge.

昨天还在吐槽「GPT-6 Astra 用不上」的小伙伴，今天就等来了好消息。 刚刚，Sam Altman 宣布， GPT-6 Astra 已正式开启大规模推送 。 目前， Astra 已向 Work/Codex 中所有 Pro、Enterprise 和 Business Premium 用户开放，同时正式上线 API 。下一阶段， OpenAI 将继续向 Plus 和 Business 用户推送 。 感谢大家的耐心等待。 除了开放 Astra，OpenAI 还为用户带来了一项额外福利：额度刷新。 OpenAI Codex 产品负责人 Tibo 表示， 今天将为所有 Plus、Pro 和 Business 用户进行一次完整额度刷新，预计将在今天结束前完成。 对于尚未获得 Astra 访问权限的用户，如果在太平洋时间晚上 8 点前创建账号或升级套餐，也仍有机会获得访问资格。 Tibo 还在社交平台上庆祝 Astra 上线：祝大家 Astra Day 快乐，也祝大家度过一个精彩的周末（狗头）。 在完成这次大规模推送后，他表示：团队现在可以好好睡一觉了。 下周还会带来更多「新东西上线」的消息 。 与此同时，GPT-6 Astra 已经开始进入第三方生态。目前， Astra 已支持在 OpenRouter 上运行 ，开发者可以通过该平台调用这一新模型。 地址：https://openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-6-astra Astra 开放之后，拿到权限的用户已经开始折腾这个新模型。 给一个房源链接，直接重建房屋 Astra 到底能做什么？先看一个最直观的： 给它一条房源链接，让它做出三维看房视频 。 开发者 Yunfan Ye 给 Astra 的任务，是根据 Zillow 房源页面上的照片，在 Blender 中重建这栋房子，再制作一段带有镜头运动的宣传视频。他还在提示词中要求模型承担摄影指导和动画师的工作。 据作者介绍，Astra 一次执行就做出了结果。从房源照片到三维场景，再到最终的视频，这项任务同时用到了图像理解、空间重建、编程和动画制作。虽然成品仍有一些细节不准确，但通过继续打磨，作者相信可以得到更准确的视频。 ChatPRD 创始人 Claire Vo 在实测中，把自己公司的客户管理工作交给了 Astra。她和合伙人需要按客户类型分配咨询，再分别跟
