Inside OpenAIrCOs Reboot
by Alex Heath Aug 26, 2026 11:00 AM UTC

he protesters were waiting outside OpenAIrCOs offices when I arrived one morning in early August. They hoisted signs to rCLstop the AI racerCY and scrawled chalk messages on the sidewalk. A few dozen executives,
representing some of the companyrCOs most important customers, were
trickling into the spacious, beige-toned building known as MB0, which
OpenAI recently opened for its research and computing teams. Someone
wheeled a tall wall of shrubbery in front of the glass doors,
attempting to block the view of the tiny encampment from the pristine
lobby.-a

The customers had come to preview Astra, OpenAIrCOs upcoming family of cutting-edge AI models. CEO Sam Altman had just returned from
Washington, where he briefed officials behind closed doors about
AstrarCOs capabilities. Now researchers offered a glimpse of what the new model can do. In one demonstration, 16 AI agents divide a
research-level math problem into subproblems, coordinate their work,
and assemble a proposed proof. In another, Astra navigates well-known
desktop software, creating and editing work across applications with
unnerving speed.-a

Watching Astra use a computer in a rCLsuper-human, very fast kind of
way,rCY Altman told the visitors, had been one of the most striking
moments for employees. Astra would enable rCLpersistent agents,rCY he explainedrCovirtual colleagues toiling for sustained periods on tasks.
But its biggest impact, he predicted, would come from people using it
to discover new knowledge. rCLI expect this will be the first model where
the model actually invents new things in a way that matters,rCY Altman
told the group. rCLThatrCOs a very AGI-like thing.rCY
