Privacy frontend Venice says GPT-6 Astra is live for hard end-to-end work—computer use, coding, science, and research—with a claimed 1.05M context and anonymous access; landing page venice.ai/lp/gpt-6-astra. Another Astra route for developers who prefer prompts not stored.
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas confirmed Pro and Max subscribers can use both Claude Fable and GPT-6 Astra in Perplexity Computer mode. After Astra landed on Computer, this makes dual frontier-model choice explicit for coding, computer-use, and research workflows.
Pi Changelog ships v0.85.1: GPT-6 Astra is available via OpenAI API keys and OpenAI Codex subscriptions, and SDK import failures from 0.85.0 accidentally published experimental code are fixed. Experimental/plugin subpaths and server/client commands are now source-only via pi-test.sh; local SDK and stdio RPC API stay unchanged.
