OpenAI's official account defined GPT-6 Astra: Anything that can be done on a computer, Astra can handle, and faster. The official website positions it as the strongest model for computer usage, browsing, software engineering, cybersecurity, and scientific and professional work.

The company claims Astra scored 72.6% in computer usage during the OSWorld 2.0 delayed simulation, with a single task taking about 40 minutes, compared to GPT-5.6 Sol's 65.7% and about 75 minutes, saving approximately 47% time. Examples include filling out web forms, modifying customer relationship systems, organizing calendars, retrieving and writing emails or documents, analyzing scientific data and generating graphs, building websites and performing frontend acceptance, and troubleshooting software installation based on screen failures. The interface documentation lists computer usage, hosting shells, patches, skills, model context protocols, and asynchronous tool calls: the model can continue reasoning while executing tools in applications. The pricing is $10 for input and $50 for output per million tokens, with tools charged separately. Initially open to enterprises in the trusted access program, followed by Plus to enterprise subscriptions and interfaces with Amazon Cloud. ExploitBench's full score and advanced network capabilities still go through restricted channels. The enterprise workspace is closed by default.

Who is buying and who is selling: The event is driven by selling chat windows as remote employees, not by the launch of a new operating system. Buyers are knowledge workers looking to outsource form filling, acceptance, and troubleshooting, while sellers are laboratories charging by tokens and tool usage. Beneficiaries include the Codex path integrated into ChatGPT, while those under pressure are software vendors selling remote desktops and process robots by seat. Funds flow from subscriptions and tool fees into computer usage reasoning, with speed advantages measured in minutes and risk from permissions hedged by the default closure for enterprises.
