Question 1

What is GPT 6 Astra best used for?

Accepted Answer

Astra is OpenAI's advanced reasoning model, built for complex analysis, coding, and research tasks that need careful multi-step logic rather than quick, shallow responses.

Question 2

How is pricing calculated for GPT 6 Astra?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is token-based at $10.00 per million input tokens and $50.00 per million output tokens, with a minimum charge of $0.0008 per call.

Question 3

Does GPT 6 Astra support multimodal inputs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Astra accepts mixed text and image (image_url) inputs in a single message, alongside an optional system_prompt.

Question 4

What is reasoning effort control?

Accepted Answer

Pass a reasoning_effort value of 'low', 'medium', 'high', or 'xhigh' to control how much internal reasoning the model performs before responding. Higher levels improve accuracy on hard problems but increase latency and output token usage.

Question 5

Can GPT 6 Astra search the web?

Accepted Answer

Yes, set web_search_switch to true to let the model call an integrated web search tool for real-time information. Web search and custom function calling are mutually exclusive per request.

Question 6

How do I choose between async and streaming endpoints?

Accepted Answer

Use the streaming endpoint (/gpt-6-astra/stream) for interactive chat interfaces where the user expects real-time token-by-token feedback. Use the async endpoint (/gpt-6-astra) for background tasks, workflows, and automated scripts.
