OpenAI is reportedly building Astra, a model family designed to work on problems for hours or days

OpenAI is developing a new model family known as Astra, designed to enable multiple autonomous agents to collaborate on complex tasks over extended durations. This technology aims to shift AI capabilities from short-lived queries to long-term problem solving that spans hours or days. CEO Sam Altman has demonstrated the project to policymakers, though the company has not yet determined if this will be released as a GPT-5 variant or a future GPT-6.
