The official name is Astra. Reasoning effort and processing tier affect cost and completion time.

Suggested starting role: complex planning. OpenAI positions Astra for demanding reasoning, software engineering, and research. Consider it for complex plans when the potential benefit justifies its higher token price. This is editorial guidance, not a benchmark score.

Prices are USD per million native tokens, with input and output billed separately. Extra reasoning tokens, retries, tool calls, cache writes, storage, and taxes can change the bill. Use-case tags reflect our reading of official capabilities, not measured rankings.
