Sam Altman OpenAI has released a new model called GPT-6 Astra to a limited set of customers, calling it the world’s most intelligent AI system and the first of its models to trigger advanced internal safety protections because of its cyber capabilities.
\n\nNBC News reports that Astra can control computer systems on its own to a degree OpenAI hasn’t shipped before, filling out spreadsheets or building whole websites without step-by-step direction from a person. It replaces GPT-5.6 Sol, and OpenAI says it beat that predecessor on ExploitGym, a cybersecurity benchmark, while using fewer output tokens.
\n\n“Astra can really do anything a human can do with a computer,” said Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s co-founder and president, describing the model’s capabilities before release. He went further Thursday: “Welcome to the AGI era!”
\n\nOpenAI’s announcement calls Astra “state-of-the-art on computer use, browser use, software engineering, cybersecurity, science, and professional work” and “the world’s most intelligent and aligned model.” The timing is pointed: rival Anthropic released its own Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 models just days earlier, describing them as “the world’s most advanced models for coding and knowledge work.”
\n\nAstra will reach participants in OpenAI’s Daybreak program first, a program built for cybersecurity defenders…
