Proaction, a fleet management software company, uses Codex, GPT-Live-1, and GPT-6 Astra to accelerate sales and reduce engineering workload. The company's co-founder Colin Knudsen uses Codex to build customized interactive demos in 30–45 minutes each, saving 40–60 engineering hours monthly and increasing deals moving to solution development by 50–60%. Proaction also deploys voice agents built on GPT-Live-1 and GPT-6 Astra to handle fleet operations tasks such as maintenance coordination and toll management.
Ringg, a voice and chat agent platform, uses OpenAI's GPT-5.6 models to power multilingual agents handling over 7 million connected calls per month. Migrating real-time workloads from GPT-4.1 to GPT-5.6 reduced model costs by approximately 90%. The platform routes tasks to different GPT-5.6 variants based on performance needs, achieving up to 65% call resolution and an average customer satisfaction score of 4.8.

With GPT‑6 Astra, invideo plans edits with greater precision, improves color correction and grading threefold, and produces 50 custom effects in one day. Results Custom effects created in one day Results Increase in success rate for color-grading and correction Editing videos is one creative and technical decision after another. Editors have to shape the story, place sound effects, build transitions, adjust color, and more. Invideo is an agentic video editor designed to handle that work while keeping the human editor in control. With GPT‑6 Astra, invideo sees greater capability to plan and execute complex edits and place changes at the correct points in the timeline. “How Astra can plan a particular edit on a frame-level accuracy is quite stunning.” Planning complex edits and staying on brief The AI agent must translate the editor’s direction into a sequence of steps, choose the right tools, execute the work, and verify the result. Sanket says GPT‑6 Astra can plan these operations in fewer reasoning steps than the models it previously tested: “Astra is using far fewer reasoning sets and thus output tokens to complete complex work.” …
An open benchmark developed with more than 80 licensed mental health experts to evaluate AI responses in realistic mental health conversations. People turn to AI for many kinds of conversations: navigating a difficult relationship, working through everyday stress, supporting someone they care about, or deciding how to approach a challenging situation. These conversations require accuracy, practical judgment, and respect for people’s agency. With more than one billion people using ChatGPT each week, our research focuses on helping models respond with care across a wide range of needs and put people’s safety and well-being first. Most evaluations of AI in this domain have focused primarily on emergency scenarios, given their importance to safety, and measure success using broad, predefined criteria. This has left a gap in understanding how models perform across the full range of mental health conversations, and how well their responses align with expert guidance for each situation, beyond whether they avoid disallowed responses. …

Ads are shown only to users on Free and Go plans, while Pro, Plus, and Enterprise subscriptions remain ad-free.
Airbnb widens access to GPT‑6 Astra and OpenAI frontier models Under a new agreement, Airbnb is giving its engineering and product development teams broader access to OpenAI frontier models, including GPT‑6 Astra. The expansion builds on Airbnb’s use of Codex and longstanding collaboration with OpenAI. Airbnb engineers use an internal AI assistant for writing software and creating remote AI agents powered by Codex and models like GPT‑5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna. The new agreement gives Airbnb broader access to OpenAI models through OpenAI APIs and Amazon Bedrock. It arrives amid accelerating adoption of GPT‑6 Astra among developers, builders, and enterprises, many of which were already benefiting from the improved price-performance and efficiency of GPT‑5.6 Terra and Luna. Airbnb’s early use of GPT‑6 Astra has shown strong results beyond coding. Astra helps Airbnb engineers accelerate their work by tracking down hard bugs, shaping system designs, and brainstorming engineering approaches. In one test involving strategic documents and other non-coding work, one Airbnb user reported reaching impressive output in 3–4 passes, compared with 20+ rounds using other models. …
OpenAICapability change· 9 days ago OpenAI improved prompt caching for GPT-6 with higher cache hit rates by default within a 30-minute window. The company introduced a Prompt Caching Dashboard to monitor cache performance, a diagnostics tool to identify cache misses, and new controls including explicit cache breakpoints, reasoning effort adjustment without breaking cache, and cache prewarming to help developers reduce latency and costs.
OpenAI announced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, two new models in the GPT-6 family that offer improved cost efficiency while bringing advances from GPT-6 Astra to professional work, factuality, coding, and alignment. API prices for Sol and Luna are reduced by 50% compared to their GPT-5.6 promotional pricing. The models outperform similarly priced competitors on benchmarks such as AutomationBench, Agents' Last Exam, FrontierCode, and DeepSWE at lower cost per task.
OpenAI reports that GPT-6 Astra enabled Parallel's agents to research and synthesize labor-market data in half the time and at half the cost compared to prior models.
OpenAISafety or policy· 9 days ago OpenAI published a framework outlining priorities and principles for independent third-party assessments of its frontier AI models. The company commits to providing deep access to assessors across training, evaluation, and deployment stages, and proposes four priority areas: independent assessment of safety cases spanning training through external deployment, assessment of critical safeguards, and evaluation of safety claims and evidence. OpenAI emphasizes that effective assessments require strong independence mechanisms, scientific rigor, robust security practices, and shared international standards for safety and security.
Higgsfield AI, a video creation platform, used GPT-6 Astra to accelerate feature development and improve ad creation capabilities. The model enabled a single engineer to ship new video exploration features in a day and helped the company generate ad variations and customizations for small businesses.

The company emphasizes that international standards for safety and security in frontier AI development are essential to manage risks from recursive self-improvement, prevent fragmentation across nations, enable collective action, and address uneven capacity in AI expertise globally.
OpenAI expanded OpenAI Academy with new role-based learning courses for developers, leaders, educators, and college students, joining the existing Apply AI at Work pathway. The courses use real tasks and assessments to help learners build practical AI skills and earn OpenAI Academy badges.
How V7 gives AI agents institutional memory V7 turns company files into agent context, with GPT‑6 Astra reaching 89% accuracy on its hardest graph-query tests. Results 89% Accuracy for GPT-6 Astra on the hardest queries Results 78% Lower cost per document with GPT-5.6 Luna Results +11.6 pts Higher accuracy with GPT-5.6 Luna Today’s models can reason through complex tasks, but they don’t automatically understand the underlying business context of those tasks. Which fund report is current? How is the same entity named across three systems? That context lives in documents, data rooms, spreadsheets, emails, and internal tools: scattered, unresolved, and invisible to agents. For teams in finance, insurance, and real estate, retrieval accuracy within workflows is non-negotiable. After building a widely used computer vision accessibility app together, Rizzoli and Edwardsson started V7 in 2018 to help companies teach AI systems how their businesses work. V7 Go is an agentic platform to build mission critical workflows, and organize buried context into memory that agents can query and act on. …
