World’s most intelligent AI model ‘GPT-6 Astra’ launched:Will do website creation, science, and coding tasks in minutes, know it’s features

AI is moving beyond simply answering questions. OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Astra, a new AI model that the company says can not only understand complex problems but also work on computers and complete tasks for users. From writing and testing software to analysing scientific data, filling online forms and conducting research, OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra is designed to handle both professional and everyday tasks in minutes. OpenAI President calls GPT-6 Astra a ‘big leap’ in AI OpenAI President Greg Brockman described GPT-6 Astra as a ‘big leap’ in AI capabilities. He also said that the world has entered the era of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Brockman believes that in the future, people could look back at the launch of Astra as an important moment in the beginning of the AGI era. GPT-6 Astra can use computers to complete tasks One of the biggest focuses of GPT-6 Astra is its ability to work with computers. According to OpenAI, the model can: The company says this means Astra can go beyond giving instructions and actually help carry out tasks on a computer. GPT-6 Astra shows stronger performance in coding OpenAI says Astra is its strongest model for software engineering so far. On the Terminal-Bench 4.0 test, which measures how well AI can complete difficult computer-terminal tasks, GPT-6 Astra scored 57.9%. GPT-5.6 Sol scored 37.3%, while Claude Fable 5.1 scored 55.8% in the comparison shared by OpenAI. The model can also create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets using existing templates. OpenAI says it can follow a user’s preferred formatting and style while keeping the final output focused. AI model targets science and mathematics GPT-6 Astra is also designed to handle advanced scientific and mathematical problems. OpenAI reports that the model scored: OpenAI also claims that Astra has helped solve some long-standing open problems in mathematics. GPT-6 Astra performs better on computer-use tests OpenAI says Astra has also improved its ability to operate computers compared with earlier models. On the OSWorld 2.0 benchmark, Astra scored 72.6% and completed tasks in around 40 minutes. GPT-5.6 Sol scored 65.7% and took around 75 minutes in the comparison. When combined with an updated Codex system, OpenAI says Astra completed tasks on the Mind2Web benchmark 1.9 times faster. Cybersecurity is another major focus OpenAI has also focused heavily on cybersecurity with GPT-6 Astra. The company says Astra scored 100% on ExploitBench without production safeguards, compared with 78.5% for GPT-5.6 Sol. On ExploitGym, Astra achieved a 42.4% success rate, compared with 30.3% for GPT-5.6 Sol. OpenAI says the model can help security teams find vulnerabilities, review code, and fix security problems. However, the company has placed restrictions on some advanced cybersecurity tasks. The version being launched will refuse certain requests, including creating proof-of-concept exploits for vulnerabilities. When will GPT-6 Astra be available? GPT-6 Astra is initially being made available to a limited group of organisations. OpenAI says it will roll out to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users over the coming days. The model will also be available through the OpenAI API, Microsoft Azure and AWS Bedrock. OpenAI has also introduced GPT-6 Astra Pro for selected paid plans. GPT-6 Astra API price For developers using the OpenAI API, the standard price is $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens. OpenAI says its Fast mode can provide up to twice the processing speed of the standard mode, but it will cost twice as much. Enterprise administrators will be able to turn Astra on for their workspaces, although access will be disabled by default when it launches. Eligible API customers can also use OpenAI’s Zero Data Retention option. With GPT-6 Astra, OpenAI is positioning its latest model as more than a chatbot. The company is aiming to make AI capable of handling complete tasks across computers, software development, science, business, and everyday work.
