GPT-6 Astra boosts business AI with stronger software, browsing, and coding Improve workflows with safer enterprise controls and faster, more efficient tasks

OpenAI has introduced GPT6 Astra, a new model aimed at business and professional work. The company says it is now available in ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the API, with stronger performance in computer use, browsing, software engineering, cybersecurity, and science. OpenAI says Astra is designed to work inside existing business workflows with less setup, including tasks that involve desktop applications without APIs. The company also highlighted early customer use cases such as code optimization, financial statement review, and presentation drafting. The release also emphasizes cost efficiency and safety controls. OpenAI says Astra completes tasks in fewer tokens and with fewer retries, while enterprise tools can limit access to websites, applications, uploads, downloads, and browsing history. The company added that Astra has stronger protections for consequential actions and cybersecurityrelated use cases.
