Why high: an exact fingerprint shared with 40 models that declare the same family, without a second signal of a different kind yet.
OpenAI: GPT-6 Astra is OpenAI's model. Its measured tokenizer sits with the GPT group, which is evidence that it builds on the GPT tokenizer. Tokenizer reuse is normal engineering, open vocabularies travel between labs, and this says nothing against OpenAI's authorship of the model itself.
| We checked | What we found | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|
| How it counts tokens | Counts every one of the 50 test strings exactly like 40 other models | tk_d1411c9d |
| How its API is set up | Set up identically to 4 other listings, field for field | api_523f730f |
| How much it can read and write | Reads up to 1,050,000 tokens at once, writes up to 128,000 | its own listing |
| Whether it thinks before answering | Always reasons, and cannot be turned off, at max, xhigh, high, medium, low, medium by default | its own listing |
| Who served our requests | OpenAI | we measured it, 5 October 2026 |

We sent OpenAI: GPT-6 Astra fifty short pieces of text and recorded what each one cost it in tokens. The bars below are those costs. Two models built on the same tokenizer produce the same bars; a model built on a different one produces a different set, which is what makes this a fingerprint.
Overhead subtracted: 6 prompt tokens.
GPT-6 Astra is OpenAI's flagship model for demanding end-to-end work. It is suited for advanced analysis, software engineering, deep research, scientific work, and document creation, with particular strengths in long-horizon...
