Text Embedding 3 Small turns text of up to about 8 pages into a fingerprint of its meaning, so search finds passages that mean the same thing even when the words differ. It replaces the older ada-002 and is the sensible default for search over your documents, grouping similar messages or labelling them.
GPT-6 Astra (batch)
by OpenAIReleased 4 September 2026
#2 for reasoningGPT-6 Astra reads your text and pictures and writes back, taking in about a thousand pages at once and writing up to 128 pages in one answer. It is the flagship of the GPT-6 series, aimed at big end-to-end jobs such as analysis, building software, researching a subject in depth, science and writing documents, with extra strength on long tasks that drive a computer or browser. GPT-6 Sol is the cost-efficient step below, GPT-6 Luna the fast one, and GPT-6 Astra Pro adds a deeper-thinking mode.
