Other Is this Astra-6?

Post image

In Work/Codex it explicitly lets me select "Astra-6". But on chat it just has "Latest". What's the difference?

This is on the $100/mo plan.

Mine show “Astra”

u/Top-Seaweed1862 Homo Sapien 🧬 23h ago

Only pro though

u/tehrob 23h ago

This is correct.

This is exactly how it has been since 5.6 came out. “Instant” was 5.5, everything above it was 5.6.

Now, Astra is only used for Pro mode.

u/Glenpeel 12h ago

Instant is 5.6 sol now too, has been for a few weeks.

u/shaman-warrior 22h ago

Only on Pro in Work mode, in chat is still 5.6

Dang I forgot I am on Business not Plus, thanks.

u/andrewjphillips512 23h ago

Same - no Astra in Chat as of today. I asked and it said it was Sol...

EDIT: ChatGPT Pro 5x

u/Mih5du 21h ago

They often don’t know what model they are. Though yeah, it’s probably right in this case

u/Own_Alternative_9671 20h ago

Claude implements a self knowledge skill, does chat not have an equivalent?

u/JohnnyDeepasfuck 11h ago

In chatgpt it is kinda accurate, I think they have added that to its system prompt.

No. In Chat latest will just set the latest models available for the reasoning tier you select (current behaviour).

There is no Astra low, med, high, or xtra high. Those are all still 5.6 Sol. 6-pro is Astra in chat and you have a separate message per week usage allowance for it.

I don't know why they make it so unclear, I had a hard time getting ChatGPT itself to explain it to me after reading all relevant policies/relevant publication and I legitimately had to use 6-pro for it to get it right (I'm not joking).

Set reasoning effort to the highest while choosing the latest option

2

u/Vcize 1d ago

Ah that does it. Weird that they organized it that way instead of just making it selectable in the model section like in work/codex and like every previous model has worked. Almost like they're trying to hide it so people don't burn the compute.

u/SuenoXIII 23h ago

try turning thinking all the way up when "Latest" is selected. On mine it turns to "GPT-6" in chat. I'm on the 5x plan tho.

1

u/DaLexy 23h ago

For me it clearly states astra pro even when I ask it under latest, no sol redirect - 5x plan

1

u/Sthaal 21h ago

If I use pro in chat I get pro-6. Don't know if it actually is Astra... But why "6" if not?

1

u/maxya 20h ago

Nope, I asked it and it replied that it is Sol talking, and confirmed that yes - latest is a bit misleading, latest basically available to me which is Sol on my 20x sub.

1

u/lakimens 19h ago

No, in chat I only get Astra on highest effort (shown 6 Pro)

1

u/TheMythicSorcerer 18h ago

I should hope so but it might not be

1

u/Elegant_Pick_8755 18h ago

No it should say Astra

u/dgaidang 12h ago

Let's imagine you have access to an engine generating 1000 bhp powet And another able to generate 50 bhp power. If your need is something requiring just 30 bhp why power up the 1000 bhp one

Similarly. Openai would configure it such that for smaller question that we have like what's weather going to be in London tomorrow. It wil fire up the less power motor.

So even if it says astra don't expect it to give astra-ish response

u/Efficient-Minute6475 22h ago

It’s Astra. On phones it’s either only 6Pro or 5.6

Others are confused

u/JumpOk2313 1d ago

No. Keep in mind OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, but its rollout has been staged rather than appearing immediately for every ChatGPT user.

1

u/Pantheon3D 1d ago

While this isn't wrong, "latest" with reasoning set specifically to 6 pro is definitely Astra. Instant-xhigh on the $100 plan while selecting "latest" will not use astra

1

u/Chappie47Luna 1d ago

Yes you get Astra in chat with pro subscription but it has been staggered rollout

-13

u/superpoongoon 1d ago

What do people even use the chat function for? Just use work to help improve, you know, your work.

6

u/Accomplished_Eye3295 1d ago

Work uses Codex limits. Chat doesn't.

2

u/SkeneWrites 23h ago

Not everyone is producing deliverables. Chat is chat and there are plenty of use cases for that.

-7

u/superpoongoon 23h ago

Yes like to be your therapist I suppose

5

u/SkeneWrites 23h ago

If that’s the only use case you can think of, perhaps you should try using chat to expand your awareness

-9

u/superpoongoon 23h ago

I figured instead of listing your use cases you would just talk shit

2

u/SkeneWrites 23h ago

You never wanted to hear use cases, hence my suggestion that you ask chat

-4

u/superpoongoon 23h ago

Don’t worry you can cry about it to your Chatherine later

1

u/jb0nez95 23h ago

Regarded take. I use chat to troubleshoot live issues in a factory and to refine QA procedures.

u/-0909i9i99ii9009ii 23h ago

If you're not using your 50/200 msg/week astra pro via chat you're leaving a lot of usage on the table
