What is OpenAI GPT-6 Astra?

Large language models, a central kind of foundation model, are a branch of AI built around software that learns from huge amounts of text and can then work with language. The hard part is making one system useful across many different tasks, such as writing, summarising, translating and analysing, without building a separate tool for each. GPT-6 Astra is a language model from the American company OpenAI, part of its GPT-6 family. OpenAI describes it as a model for complex reasoning, coding, computer use (operating software on a screen), research and document creation, including computer-use jobs like filling out online forms, updating customer records and organising a calendar.
