OpenAI began rolling out GPT‑6 Astra on 3 September 2026, touting 'computer use' that can navigate apps and complete multi-step tasks such as posting an eBay listing via voice. Its most advanced cybersecurity capabilities are being restricted to a small set of enterprise testers under its Daybreak program.
The release marks a significant shift in how people may interact with AI. Rather than simply generating instructions or code, Astra can work through browsers, spreadsheets, websites and desktop applications to complete tasks.
