How NVIDIA GPUs Help Accelerate OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast
GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast, running on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, is now available in the OpenAI API and to eligible ChatGPT Work and Codex users. It offers up to 8x faster token generation than Astra Standard mode, which can shorten the edit-test-debug cycles of coding agents and make interactive applications more responsive. OpenAI says it is also using its own models to help refine the inference software running on NVIDIA GPUs.
