GPT-6 Astra: daily quota resets, no surcharge past 272K context, and prep tips
量子位 · wechat · 2026-09-04
- Paid users waiting for GPT-6 Astra access can reset their quota once per day, choosing the reset time; context beyond 272K tokens in long tasks no longer incurs a usage multiplier.
- Prep tips: the new Responses API adds async function calls, mid-inference task steering, and reasoning-effort changes without breaking cache — GPT-6's 98 on ARC-AGI-3 leans heavily on the API.
- OpenAI engineer Max Stoiber advises deleting and rewriting Agent.md, since GPT-6's strong instruction-following makes redundant instructions hurt performance.
