OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra, its first model to cross a critical cybersecurity threshold
Brief
OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra on Thursday, disclosing that the new flagship model has crossed the “Critical” threshold for cybersecurity risk under its Preparedness Framework, a classification the company said triggers additional deployment restrictions.
“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,” OpenAI said in a statement.
Enterprise administrators must manually enable Astra for their workspace, since access is off by default at launch, according to the company.
Developers can access Astra in the API as gpt-6-astra or through Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI said, priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens.
