OK nevermind, the team and Astra did a good job and our systems are more scalable than we anticipated. Astra is now rolled out to all Plus and Business users too. Hope you have a blast and let us know how it goes!

GPT-6 Astra is now available in the API. It’s also available in ChatGPT Work and Codex for all Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium users. https://t.co/6D0bFdqkgB

We are progressing through the rollout of Astra. Pro and Business subscriptions get it first, some of you should start seeing it across ChatGPT Work and Codex. And then we will proceed with rollout to all of Plus as fast as we can.

We hit a little snag getting the blog post deployed, but it is really great: https://t.co/jjqXUWfrNW

We are starting to release GPT-6 Astra and we are doing it as carefully and quickly as possible. It was very important to us that we bring it to all Plus users and not only Pro, Business and Enterprise. It will take a few days for the rollout to complete and behind the scenes many novel systems will operate at scale for the first time and we are bringing a lot of compute up. It is pure magic. https://t.co/WUdXA3xSoh
