Key changes to consider when migrating: GPT-6 Astra does not support the none reasoning effort level. GPT-6 Astra does not support custom temperature or top_p values or log probabilities ( logprobs ). Tool calling requires the Responses API. If you use tools with Chat Completions, follow the Responses migration guide . Misalignment monitoring asynchronously checks for potential issues during agent work in supported Responses API requests. Checks can trigger safety alerts or stop a conversation for review. Start with Using GPT-6 Astra for capabilities, prompting, and migration guidance. Explore computer use for browser and desktop workflows, and see pricing for available inference tiers.

Added new controls for long-running work with GPT-6 Astra in the Responses API: Async tool calling : Let the model continue working while your application runs function or custom tools, then return results as they become available.

Change reasoning effort mid-conversation : Increase effort for difficult work or reduce it for routine follow-ups while preserving the cached prompt prefix.

Updated API errors so applications can distinguish traffic that increases too quickly from temporary model overload. Traffic that increases too quickly can return a 429 error with the slow_down code. Temporary model overload returns a 503 error with the server_is_overloaded code. Both responses may include Retry-After . When the header is present, wait at least as long as it specifies before retrying. If it's missing, use exponential backoff. See the error codes guide and rate limits guide .

Updated the gpt-realtime-mini and gpt-audio-mini slugs to point to the 2025-12-15 snapshots. If you need the previous model snapshots, use gpt-realtime-mini-2025-10-06 and gpt-audio-mini-2025-10-06 .

Updated the sora-2 slug to point to sora-2-2025-12-08 . If you need the previous model snapshot, use sora-2-2025-10-06 .

Updated the gpt-4o-mini-tts and gpt-4o-mini-transcribe slugs to point to the 2025-12-15 snapshots. If you need the previous model snapshots, use gpt-4o-mini-tts-2025-03-20 and gpt-4o-mini-transcribe-2025-03-20 . We currently recomend using gpt-4o-mini-transcribe over gpt-4o-transcribe for the best results.

Fixed an issue where gpt-image-1.5 and chatgpt-image-latest were incorrectly using high fidelity for image edits through /v1/images/edits , even when fidelity was explicitly set to low (the default).
