OpenAI’s newest and most powerful model, GPT-6 Astra, is out today, and one of its hallmark features is called “computer use,” in which the model aims to navigate a computer as a human would.
It’s just one of a wide range of new and advanced capabilities, OpenAI says, including mathematical proficiency, software engineering, and defensive cybersecurity. But “computer use is a particularly important part of what’s new,” OpenAI cofounder and president Greg Brockman told reporters today. The model “can zip through spreadsheets, fill out forms, and navigate across web pages often at superhuman speed,” he said.
