Model card

Curated by Run BiOS · benchmark figures, where present, are the card’s own, not our measurements

GPT-6 Astra is OpenAI's most capable model, built for the hardest end-to-end work. OpenAI recommends it for complex reasoning, coding, research, and document creation.

It is the most capable model in the GPT-6 family, alongside GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna. GPT-6 Astra always reasons: it does not support turning reasoning off.

On Run BiOS

Always reasons. Reasoning levels low, medium, high, xhigh, max; the default is medium. This model cannot turn reasoning off: a request for no reasoning runs at the lowest available level.
Reasoning summaries. When reasoning is on, OpenAI may return a summary of the model's reasoning: in reasoning_content on the OpenAI API, and in thinking blocks on the Anthropic Messages API when thinking.display is summarized. OpenAI does not return a summary for every request.
Tool calling. Function tools with tool_choice auto, required, a named function or none, including parallel tool calls, and together with reasoning.
Structured outputs. response_format with json_schema or json_object.
Image input. Text and image input, text output.
Sampling parameters. temperature, top_p, penalties, stop and seed are not applied to this model on Run BiOS, because it always reasons; the request is still served.
Prompt caching. Automatic for repeated prompt prefixes of at least 1,024 tokens. Cache reads bill at 0.1× the input rate and cache writes at 1.25×, as OpenAI charges.
Two APIs. Works with the OpenAI Chat Completions API (/v1/chat/completions) and the Anthropic Messages API (/v1/messages).
