Updated: September 5, 2026 BetterToken now supports GPT-6 Astra with the exact Model ID gpt-6-astra. OpenAI describes Astra as its most capable model for difficult end-to-end work, including complex reasoning, software engineering, research, computer use, and document creation. Check current availability and BetterToken pricing in the model plaza.

​
Highlights

  • End-to-end work: designed for complex, multistep tasks across code, browsers, tools, and professional applications
  • Software engineering: OpenAI positions Astra as its strongest model so far for coding and agentic software development
  • Large context: OpenAI documents a 1,050,000-token context window and up to 128,000 output tokens
  • Adjustable reasoning: the OpenAI API supports low, medium, high, xhigh, and max reasoning effort
  • Responses API tools: OpenAI documents support for function calling, structured outputs, web search, file search, code interpreter, computer use, MCP, and other Responses API tools

​
Configuration recommendations

  • Use Astra for difficult coding, research, computer-use, or long-running agent tasks. For routine work, compare it with faster or lower-cost models in the model plaza.
  • Start with a representative test task before switching production traffic. Compare output quality, latency, and token usage in your own workflow.
  • Use the GPT provider, the Base URL https://bettertoken.ai/v1, and the exact BetterToken Model ID gpt-6-astra.
  • Availability can change during a staged rollout. Treat the model plaza as the source of truth for BetterToken availability and pricing.

​
Quick start

  1. Create a BetterToken API Key or open the Setup dialog for an existing key.
  2. Confirm that gpt-6-astra is available in the model plaza.
  3. Set the Base URL to https://bettertoken.ai/v1 and the model to gpt-6-astra in your client.
  4. Restart the client if it does not refresh its model list automatically.
  5. Run a small test task and verify the request in the Dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

​
What is the GPT-6 Astra Model ID?

Use gpt-6-astra. Do not substitute the display name GPT-6 Astra or an ID copied from another platform.

​
Does BetterToken provide the full 1,050,000-token context window?

OpenAI lists a 1,050,000-token context window for GPT-6 Astra. The usable limit can also depend on the client, request settings, and current BetterToken routing. Check the model plaza and your client documentation before sending very large prompts.

​
How do I fix Model not found?

Confirm that the Model ID is exactly gpt-6-astra, the BetterToken API Key can access the model, the GPT provider is selected, and the Base URL is https://bettertoken.ai/v1. Then restart the client and test again.

​
Where can I find the current price?

Check the live model plaza. BetterToken pricing may differ from OpenAI’s direct API pricing and can change over time.
Model availability and BetterToken pricing can change. Check the live model plaza before configuring the model.
