Get started
Create a key in the console, then follow the five-minute docs for streaming, tools and error codes.
What GPT-6 Astra delivers
GPT-6 Astra is built for workloads where answer quality matters more than latency: multi-step reasoning, long-form analysis and autonomous agents that plan, call tools and verify their own results. On OpenLux it runs behind the same /v1/chat/completions endpoint you use for every other model, so adopting it is a model-field change rather than a migration project.
The model accepts text and image input, supports streaming responses and standard function calling, and returns usage data on every request so cost stays visible. Because OpenLux meters usage pay as you go, you can route your most demanding prompts to Astra and lighter traffic to a cheaper sibling like gpt-5.6-sol without opening a second billing relationship.
At $0.3677 per 1M tokens it sits in the same tier as Claude Opus 5 ($0.4412) and above Gemini 3.1 Pro preview ($0.1471) — the comparison table below shows how the flagships line up on the same endpoint and the same key.

Deep reasoning
Flagship-class reasoning for multi-step problems, planning and analysis where a shallow answer is not acceptable.
Tool calling
Standard function calling for agents that query databases, hit internal APIs or orchestrate other models.
Vision input
Accepts images alongside text for chart reading, screenshot understanding and visual QA.
Streaming
Server-sent events stream tokens as they are generated, so chat UIs and long answers stay responsive.
Coding agents
Review, refactor and generate code inside agent loops where the model must reason about an entire repository.
Complex analysis
Financial models, research synthesis and documents that need careful, layered reasoning before conclusions.
High-stakes automation
Customer-facing support and workflow automation where answer quality directly drives retention.
