Perplexity trusts GPT-6 Astra with end-to-end systems

Perplexity, an AI-powered search company, uses OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model to write code, modify production systems (live software running the company's services), and test applications with less frequent human oversight than earlier models. The model can generate realistic test responses that simulate external services, allowing Perplexity to test entire workflows automatically and trust the AI with end-to-end system management.
