The author predicts that OpenAI's upcoming Astra will be a breakthrough for long-horizon, multi-agent work, similar to how Claude Code revolutionized agentic coding. Arguments include:
- Reporting: The Information stated Astra is trained with the ability for "multiple agents to work together over a long period".
- Infra Investment: OpenAI has invested in inter-agent communication in Codex; GPT-5.6 Sol and Terra communicate in parallel, and Luna acts as a subagent.
- Pre-training Integration: Rumored to be a new pre-train, allowing end-to-end training of multi-agent communication.
The author posits Astra will natively support multi-agent orchestration in Codex, seamlessly delegating tasks to efficient models like Luna.
