Re: GPT-6 Astra
#42> GPT‑6 Astra is rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and over the coming days will become available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as through the OpenAI API and AWS.
Looks like OpenAI is already having issues with this release and are scrambling to get everything ready due to the recent outage ahead of the press releases. Leads me to question:
Did humans deploy the model, Or did the model deploy itself?
It sounds like "AGI" just stands for "IPO" as it always has been.
EDIT: And of course once again, the bots down-voting this post without any reason or a basic answer to my question.

How about we stick to that one for talking about the rollout, and this one for talking about the model?

#44GPT 6 Astra benchmarks https://cdn.thenewstack.io/media/2026/09/358eb84a-screenshot... Performance is significantly higher than Fable 5.1 Source: https://thenewstack.io/openai-gpt6-astra-benchmarks/
Is the ARC-AGI-3 score with their custom harness? I'm guessing that is what the footnote is for? (per https://openai.com/index/how-two-settings-tripled-our-arc-ag... )
Haven't people demonstrated all kinds of weak LLMs getting good ARC-AGI-3 scores with special harnesses?

#45I guess this "limited set of organizations" is just the standard now. It's just incredibly deflating to see my future as a second class citizen has already come

#46$10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens sol is $4 / $20
2.5x more expensive than Sol. Can expect 2.5x more usage in Codex subscription. Sol is already brutal (even after their recent fixes, it's just a token-hungry model: I go through a full 20x account per day, on Sol Med/High standard speed, with ~2 threads). I hope the efficiency gains are true, since their token efficiency claims for Sol were bullshit.
How?? I'm using sol Extra High 24/7 and it eats up about 1% per hour reliably, so it lasts about 4 days for me.

Yep. Incredibly misleading. Although it is not surprising at this point. They are desperate and will do anything to undermine Anthropic's upcoming IPO.

#48I was thinking about canceling my claude max sub after a few bad experiences. Kept hitting my usage limit, the quality of code seemed worse than Sol. This just made my decision. I'm moving to Codex Pro.

Re: GPT-6 Astra
#50> The company also emphasized that the model is faster and more efficient than its predecessor, GPT-5.6 Sol, on a variety of tasks. For example, OpenAI said that Astra achieved a higher score using fewer output tokens, a common unit of measurement for AI tasks, on a key cybersecurity test called ExploitGym.
A swarm of Astra agents discovered a new and innovative way to get 100% scores on ExploitGym with almost no token spend at all
