Asana Uses GPT-6 Astra to Cut Browser Agent Costs by 76x
Understand the story
On October 9, 2026, OpenAI News (first-hand) reported that Asana uses the GPT-6 Astra model in its Codex product. According to tests, the model made Asana's browser agent 76 times cheaper and 5 times faster, enabling Asana to offer more capable models to its customers. Note that the report's headline says "GPT-6.1 Sol," while the body says Asana uses "GPT-6 Astra"—an inconsistency, and regarding the model version name, earlier event records and the report body take precedence. Apart from this, the report mentions no other time points or further details. The current status of the event: Asana has achieved the above cost and speed optimizations with the model and plans to use it to enhance the model capabilities available to customers.
