Summary
OpenAI is gradually rolling out ChatGPT Astra, its newest and most powerful model, to users with a $20 Plus subscription, though the rollout is happening slowly and free users don't yet have access. Astra is included in the existing Plus subscription and is designed for tasks like computer use, coding, and complex professional work, with better ability to maintain context (understanding the full conversation history) during long tasks compared to the previous GPT-5.6 Sol model.
