Ahead of the GPT-6 Astra launch, newly reported details include:
- 97.4% on FrontierMath Tier 4
- VP of research Aidan Clark calls it OpenAI's "by far our largest scale training run," pre-trained on more than 100,000 GPUs
- It's OpenAI's first model where previous AI model generations were heavily involved in training the new one, with older models helping train their successor
AI models helping train the next generation is the most notable signal here.
