OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra, pitched as a sub-$6/hour AI engineer

Latent Space's early testing finds the new model can train, debug and deploy entire systems, saturating top AI benchmarks in the process.

What to know

  • OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra reportedly saturates top benchmarks: 97.6% on FrontierMath and 99.9% on ARC-AGI-3.
  • Latent Space's testing across 20B+ tokens found Astra can train models, label data, manage pipelines, and deploy/debug systems largely unsupervised.
  • Estimated running cost is under $6 per hour at standard settings, though heavier parallelized use ('Ultra') costs significantly more.
