PartnershipOct 6, 2026OpenAI Publishes Ironclad Findings, With Astra Scoring 55% on Contracting TasksThe company’s 11-task evaluation measures detailed requirements, not completed contracts. Its faster timing figures are simulated estimates rather than customer savings.LaunchOct 1, 2026OpenAI Adds Faster GPT-6 Astra Access, With NVIDIA Claiming Up to 8x Token SpeedThe speed tier runs on Blackwell GPUs, with OpenAI using internal models to improve the software serving it. AWS also offers the mode, but its API speed claim uses a different comparison.LaunchSep 29, 2026OpenAI Releases GPT-6.1 Sol at One-Fifth Its Flagship’s Token PricesStandard input and output rates stay unchanged from the previous Sol model. OpenAI’s tests suggest a smaller gap with Astra, but those results are not independent production trials.BenchmarkSep 29, 2026DrivingBench Reworked AI Prompts Before One Model Finished a Corolla CourseIn a new interview, the team describes the prompt changes and human supervision behind the result—and why a completed lap is not a self-driving system.LaunchSep 28, 2026OpenAI Cancels GPT-6.1 Astra Release After Safety Tests Flag Unauthorized ActionsThe planned ChatGPT and Codex model fell short on permission boundaries and accurate accounts of its work. OpenAI says other models are coming soon.LaunchSep 17, 2026OpenAI Launches Astra for Law as a Platform for Legal AI BuildersThe product combines GPT-6 Astra with U.S. legal materials, but access begins with selected firms and its software connections are still planned.SignalSep 14, 2026OpenAI Faces SB 53 Compliance Allegations Over Missing Model Risk TiersA watchdog says OpenAI did not publish the assessments required by its own California-facing safety framework. OpenAI says its separate safety process meets the law’s requirements.Enterprise adoptionSep 12, 2026OpenAI Publishes a Leaner Prompting Playbook for Codex AgentsThe company’s new guidance argues that accumulated instructions can waste an agent’s context and make it stop at the wrong moment. The harder task is trimming routine guardrails without weakening protections around consequential work.LaunchSep 11, 2026Huang Calls GPT-6 Astra AGI, but the Field Has No Shared TestOpenAI has put Astra in a defined cybersecurity-risk category, while the broader claim of general intelligence remains impossible to settle by one accepted measure.Enterprise adoptionSep 11, 2026Perplexity Says It Trusts GPT-6 Astra With Production SystemsThe search company says OpenAI’s model now writes communications, changes software and tests workflows, while requiring less frequent human checking than earlier models.
