How to read this profile
The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.
GPT-6 Astra ranks #2 of 214 on the public leaderboard with a score of 84.9/100. Its source-verified position is #2 of 83.
GPT-6 Astra is a proprietary model with a 1.05M context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.
Rolling out as gpt-6-astra to enterprises in OpenAI's Trusted Access Program first, with API access and ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise access following in the coming days. OpenAI also lists Microsoft Azure and AWS Bedrock distribution, Zero Data Retention for eligible API customers, and GPT-6 Astra Pro for Pro, Business, and Enterprise users. OpenAI classifies Astra as Critical for cybersecurity under its Preparedness Framework and ships it with strengthened cyber safeguards and misalignment monitoring.
Official exact-value snapshot from OpenAI's September 3, 2026 GPT-6 Astra launch table and system card, supplemented by ARC Prize verified results and Irregular's independent cyber assessment. The launch table publishes GPQA Diamond, FrontierMath v2 Tier 4, OSWorld 2.0, Terminal-Bench 4.0, Terminal-Bench-Science 0.1, DeepSWE v1.1, FrontierCode 1.1 Main and Extended, ScreenSpot-Pro, BenchCAD, BrowseComp, AutomationBench, Agents' Last Exam, HLE with tools, GeneBench Pro, ExploitGym, ExploitBench, SEC-Bench Pro, SRE-Bench, and OpenAI MRCR v2 8-needle; the system card adds length-adjusted HealthBench Professional and HealthBench Hard plus Daybreak ACCR rows. LifeSciBench, length-adjusted HealthBench and HealthBench Consensus, the contamination-controlled internal ExploitBench port, SRE-Bench pass@4, and internal launch evaluations stay out of scored fields because the current schema has no exact compatible lane. OpenAI did not publish SWE-Bench Pro, Terminal-Bench 2.x, or FrontierMath Tiers 1-3 for Astra, so direct coverage of the weighted benchmark backbone remains sparse. ARC-AGI rows use ARC Prize's standard-harness Max results; the near-saturating ARC-AGI-3 adapter-harness figure is noted in provenance only. Cyber rows remain display-only.
GPT-6 Astra sits in the GPT-6 family with GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna. Its explicit predecessor is GPT-5.6 Sol. 45 of 655 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.
Its strongest eligible category is Reasoning at #1, while its lowest eligible position is Agentic at #7. particularly strong for complex reasoning, multi-step problem solving, and analytical tasks.

Questions
How does GPT-6 Astra perform overall in AI benchmarks?
GPT-6 Astra ranks #2 out of 214 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 84.9/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 45 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.
Is GPT-6 Astra good for knowledge and understanding?
GPT-6 Astra ranks #2 out of 173 eligible models for knowledge and understanding, with a public category score of 84.9/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is GPT-6 Astra good for coding and programming?
GPT-6 Astra ranks #4 out of 144 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 76.6/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is GPT-6 Astra good for mathematics?
GPT-6 Astra has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is GPT-6 Astra good for reasoning and logic?
GPT-6 Astra ranks #1 out of 27 eligible models for reasoning and logic, with a public category score of 89.6/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is GPT-6 Astra good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?
GPT-6 Astra ranks #7 out of 120 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 70.6/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.
Is GPT-6 Astra good for multimodal and grounded tasks?
GPT-6 Astra has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multimodal and grounded tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Is GPT-6 Astra good for instruction following?
GPT-6 Astra has source-displayable benchmark coverage for instruction following, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.
Which sibling models are related to GPT-6 Astra?
GPT-6 Astra belongs to the GPT-6 family. Related tracked variants include GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.
Does GPT-6 Astra have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. GPT-6 Astra currently has 68 source-displayable rows across 655 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.
What is the context window size of GPT-6 Astra?
GPT-6 Astra has a documented context window of 1.05M. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
