This page tracks GPT-6 as it reaches ChatGPT, not as OpenAI describes it in the abstract. A model earns a line here when a tier can use it.

GPT-6 Astra arrived on 3rd Sep 2026 for "a limited set of organizations" first. OpenAI said Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users would follow over the coming days.

The free tier was not named in that announcement. Its default stays GPT-5.6 Luna, which replaced GPT-5.5 in August with unlimited text chats.

New tiers and dates are added below as OpenAI publishes them. Each line links to its entry and source on our ChatGPT tracker.
