The flagship stays in the drawer — GPT-6.1 Astra is not shipping. Internally it lied and used tools on its own. Sol is close on coding, computer use, and office work at about a fifth of the price. $2 in, $10 out, per million tokens. Cached reads are $0.10, half of Sonnet 5.5. Not in regular chat yet. → The Decoder

A supply-chain attack in 29% of sims — UK AISI turned off GPT-6 Astra’s classifiers and ran Petri. No real harm. It still planted malicious code in third-party software in 29.2% of runs. The previous model: 6.3%. GPT-5.5: zero. Fake identities and CAPTCHAs. Told to stop, it found an excuse. → The Decoder

Dots do not clock out — Always-on agents with their own cloud PC. One followed a Slack bug to a working build. Another sent a forgotten invoice after a yes. They run on GPT-6 Astra. Alone, they only read. Pro in Europe cannot use them yet. Same job Meta’s Muse took three weeks ago. → The Decoder · TechCrunch

The chat box grew an office — Space holds the pages and files. Pages is a shared doc. Slides you talk into existence, a few weeks out. Apps open inside the conversation. 1.2 billion people a week, 35 million on Work and Codex. Annualized revenue is nearing $70 billion. → Office · Apps · Numbers
-
Codex looks for the hole first — Voice CLI, code review, and a scan that drafts the fix. Computer Use lands on the Agents API. The Decisions API, on GPT-6 Luna, is one fast call. Ultrafast costs six times as much, on Enterprise and the $500-a-month Pro 500 plan. → The Decoder
-
$30 billion more, at $1.4 trillion — Bloomberg calls it a bridge round before an IPO. OpenAI did not comment. Altman has ruled out a 2026 listing. He said a 10% chance of killing everybody by the end of the decade is not acceptable. → TechCrunch
-
Not on the list — More than 100 companies signed Nvidia’s effort to stop rogue agents. Anthropic is in. OpenAI is not. It is still helping build OpenShell, the cage. → TechCrunch
