GPT-6 Astra, Quoted Sources, and Complete Run Transcripts
GPT-6 Astra is available in conversations. A source reference now shows the exact quoted text behind an answer, and a run transcript keeps every user turn rather than a summary of them.
Models
GPT-6 Astra: Available for use in conversations.
Answers and sources
Sources show the quote: A source reference is attributed by the quoted text behind the answer rather than by a citation tag, so checking where a response came from is a matter of reading it.
Complete run transcripts: Every user turn in a run is kept, so an audit or a playback shows the whole conversation instead of part of it.
One search for agent skills: Agent Skill discovery runs through a single search across the platform, rather than a separate lookup per surface.
Clearer failures
Temporary and permanent read failures read differently: When content cannot be read, the response says whether it is worth retrying.
Still indexing is not the same as not searchable: Search and grep distinguish content that is still being prepared from content that cannot be searched, so an empty result explains itself.
Speed and reliability
Background results arrive together, sooner: Results are delivered as soon as the final background task finishes, which shows most when several actions run in parallel.
Steadier nested runs: Nested steps no longer reach for tool patterns that are unsupported at that depth, so longer runs complete more predictably.
Reporting
Workflows reports drop backing projects: Projects that back a workflow are excluded from its report, so the figures describe the workflow.
One last-activity time: A user last activity time reads the same wherever it appears.
Report pages stop jumping: Space is reserved for the scrollbar, so content does not shift as a long report loads.
Interface
Tool results render in chat: A message that carries results from a connected tool displays correctly rather than breaking the thread.
