Astra
An AI-driven 3D modeling automation tool that starts from textual concept descriptions, automatically generates two-dimensional reference images, and converts them into editable 3D models within Blender, enabling an end-to-end content creation pipeline.
Core Facts
The API model identifier for GPT-6 Astra is gpt-6-astra.
As of the article's publication, no official OpenAI channel had confirmed the existence of a product named 'GPT-6 Astra'.
The name Astra has previously been more associated with Google DeepMind's Project Astra, a multimodal AI assistant project that Google showcased at the 2024 Google I/O conference.

After the subsidy ends, Argon will be more expensive than Astra, but still about two-thirds of the price of Anthropic's models.
Developer Pavel Hurin tested Argon with a bug hunter task, and the result was comparable to Muse Spark 1.3, clearly lagging behind Astra, Fable and Opus.
Argon is positioned by Google as a super-large model on the same level as Astra and Fable.
A Twitter tweet claims that Sol 6.1's price is only one-fifth of Astra's and offers a 95% cache read discount.
The tweet does not state whether the price comparison between Sol 6.1 and Astra is based on input tokens or output tokens, nor does it give absolute price figures.
On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, Gemini 4 Argon scores higher than Astra and 6.1 Sol, but noticeably lower than Opus 5.5's high reasoning mode; and due to low token efficiency, its actual usage cost is more expensive than Opus 5.5.
Gemini 4 Argon is stronger than Meta's Muse Wonder in 3D capabilities, but not as good as Claude's Opus and Astra.
WonderFull ranks first on Meta's internal "Personal Superintelligence Index," leading Astra and Opus by about 4 percentage points.
Astra is a lightweight WordPress theme characterized by fast loading and high customizability, and is often used by freelancers to quickly deliver corporate sites.
On MemoryBench, Wonder defeated Fable, Opus, and Astra; on the Artificial Analysis index, Wonder Full ranks second, behind only Opus 5.5.
