Astra is appearing first for paid organizational plans and developer access. OpenAI has staged the release across ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the API with follow-up expansions to other paid tiers.
GPT‑6 Astra is now available to Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium customers in ChatGPT Work and to Codex and API users.
OpenAI expanded access over several days: Pro customers on $100/$200 plans and then ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) users gained access after the initial rollout.
OpenAI says Astra was trained on a very large run at its Stargate site using more than 100,000 GPUs.
OpenAI has started distributing its newest model, GPT‑6 Astra, to paid customers and developers. The initial rollout targeted Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium customers through ChatGPT Work and made the model available to Codex users and via the OpenAI API.
Astra is being exposed in three main places: ChatGPT Work (for paid organizational and higher personal plans), Codex (OpenAI's developer tools for code), and the OpenAI API. That means both interactive ChatGPT users on eligible plans and developers calling the API can access the model as availability expands.
How Astra was built (OpenAI's account)
OpenAI reported that Astra was trained on its largest training run to date at the Stargate facility, using more than 100,000 GPUs. The company describes Astra as the result of combined advances in pre‑training, reinforcement learning, and alignment.
OpenAI and coverage of the release describe Astra as oriented toward high‑skill tasks: software engineering, browsing, cybersecurity, science, and professional work. Media coverage and OpenAI statements position Astra as a higher‑capability model intended for customers who need advanced performance across these areas.
OpenAI is phasing access across paid plans and platforms. That approach lets organizations and developers get early access while the company continues to scale availability. It also means users on lower or free tiers may not see Astra immediately.
Look for official OpenAI updates on broader availability, pricing details for API access, and performance/evaluation disclosures. Independent testing and benchmarking will matter for teams deciding whether to switch workflows to Astra.
OpenAI has begun a staged release of GPT‑6 Astra to paid organizational and developer customers, with follow‑on expansions to other paid tiers. The model is available in ChatGPT Work, Codex, and via the API as OpenAI scales access and monitors performance.
