What's this about?
OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra is now available to Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users in Codex and ChatGPT Work, closing the staged-access gap reported during launch.
What exactly is a “staged rollout”?
A provider gradually opens a release to cohorts instead of everybody at once, allowing it to watch capacity and failures. The trade-off is that paying users may temporarily receive different service under the same plan.
Why is this worth noting?
The rollout post had about 5,450 likes. It resolves an availability problem from the launch week, though quota and session-limit complaints remain separate issues.
