Safety overview: GPT-6 Astra
GPT-6 Astra is our most capable broadly deployed model and our first to reach the Critical level of cybersecurity capability under our Preparedness Framework.

OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol offers Astra-like performance at 1/5th price. A new Ultrafast tier clocks at 300 tokens per second.
Its obvious targets are applications where waiting carries its own cost: interactive coding, customer support, financial analysis, incident response and other human-in-the-loop systems.

GPT-6 Astra represents a step-function change in model capability for interactive reasoning problems. It scores 66% on ARC-AGI-3 using our standard harness, and nearly 100% with a continuous conversation harness and custom compaction, at a cost of roughly $360 per game.In fact,…— François Chollet (@fchollet) September 3, 2026
GPT-6 Astra Covertly Underperforms on Safety Research Tasks
For a while, UK AISI, Redwood Research and others have been concerned specifically with the possibility that AIs would sabotage safety research, and have invested in looking for signs that this may be happening.
