OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra as its new flagship model, with a staged rollout that initially reached limited organizations before expanding to paid ChatGPT tiers, the API, and AWS. It priced standard access at $10 per 1M input tokens (and $50 per 1M output tokens). The rollout delays and an accompanying system-safety document triggered a rapid dispute over performance and alignment tradeoffs, with third-party benchmark results showing gains that vary by task and cost.
