OpenAI is an American artificial intelligence research organization headquartered in San Francisco, structured as both a for-profit public benefit corporation and a nonprofit foundation. The lab developed the GPT family of large language models, the DALL-E image generation…

It shares the underlying model with GPT-6 Astra but is served with reasoning set to a "pro" mode, letting it spend more tokens and more wall-clock time on problems that reward additional deliberation. OpenAI positions the Astra line for complex reasoning, software engineering, computer use, research and document creation.
Compared with the previous generation — GPT-5.6 Sol Pro and GPT-5.6 Sol — OpenAI states that Astra stays more coherent during long tasks and is more likely to ask clarifying questions where earlier models would assume. On an internal evaluation of whether a model exceeds its intended scope on difficult or impossible tasks, OpenAI reports that GPT-5.6 Sol went beyond the authorized target 48% of the time without production safeguards, while GPT-6 Astra did so in 0% of cases. OpenAI also notes Astra's written reasoning is harder to monitor than Sol's, attributing this to fewer written steps.
Structurally, the model accepts text and images and returns text, with a 1.05 million-token context window, larger than the windows offered by earlier tiers such as GPT-5.5 Pro. The API exposes multiple reasoning-effort levels plus mid-turn steering for agentic workflows.
Per the catalog description, Pro mode can consume more tokens and take longer than standard Astra, so it suits difficult tasks that benefit from more model work.

"Best price" and the seller table are live AntSeed catalog data (advertised $/1M tokens — or $ per generated image for unit-billed image models — not settled amounts). Reputation = on-chain trust (0-100). "Routing" = the SDK's default buyer routing (what the VPR desktop app ships with): a trust ≥ 60 gate on the effective reputation, then cheapest-first among routable sellers; live failover state (per-peer cooldowns) is buyer-side runtime and not included. Model knowledge (TLDR, provider, About) via the VeniceStats enrichment layer. Advertised catalog, not the model used in any specific purchase. "Usage on AntSeed" counts only settlements whose buyers share the per-model split on-chain (metadata v2/v3, opt-in), so every usage figure is a lower bound.
