OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra to ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium tiers, with access for Plus subscribers planned next.

According to The Decoder, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra reduces hallucinations and blocks 99.99 percent of direct prompt injections, but remains vulnerable to hidden prompt injection attacks embedded within documents in 8.5 percent of evaluated scenarios. Claude Opus 5 demonstrated a lower failure rate of 4.8 percent under similar document-based injection testing.
Ars Technica reports that Anthropic faces heightened public-market scrutiny regarding its external trustees and governance model. As the Claude developer approaches a reported public offering, its structure designed to balance commercial profit with organizational purpose is facing intensified examination.
