Developer arthurcolle says he ran gpt-6-astra (an unconfirmed OpenAI model codename) for over an hour using his own agent harness, spending only $7.06 in total.
The claim is a personal statement that can't be independently verified, but if accurate it implies the model's real-world inference cost for long agent sessions is quite low. Worth watching for more details on the model and its pricing.
