GPT-6 Astra skips the chat box: Plus users get just 5-45 messages per 5 hours, locked to Work and Codex
新智元 · wechat · 2026-09-13
Per Xinzhiyuan's rundown, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra is rolling out to Plus users — but only inside ChatGPT Work and Codex, not the chat box, where "GPT-6 Pro" remains Pro ($100/$200) and Business/Enterprise only. Plus users get roughly 5-45 Astra messages per 5 hours (vs 10-100 for Sol), under both 5-hour and weekly windows; credits buy usage but not model access. API pricing: $10/M input, $50/M output tokens, 2x over 272K input tokens, FastMode doubles both speed and price. Tip: Astra at low reasoning beats Sol at high. The article's thesis: frontier models now ship to workbenches first, with the chat box becoming the last stop.
