Sorry for any confusion! Cloud sessions run on your Pro or Max plan, like the rest of Claude Code. This promo is an optional one-time credit that your cloud sessions spend first, before falling back onto your normal plan usage.
We hope you enjoy the credits!

OPUS 5.5 BENCHMARKS JUST DROPPED.
It beats Fable 5.1 and GPT 6 Astra across the board.
Agentic coding, knowledge work, reasoning, computer use, visual recognition. Opus 5.5 leads every single one.
At half the price of Fable 5.1.
Anthropic finally shipped the model we have been begging for. Smart enough to lead the frontier and affordable enough to actually use.
Testing it now.

Anthropic is once again timing its next release to be on the same day as OpenAI’s.
We’ll be getting both Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol on Tuesday. It’s going to be a big week.

52% chance Astra 6.1+ is released by the end of October.

Hi Astra users. A reset and a quick update on quality issues that have been posted around.
Working with some of you, we have found and fixed the following issues:
- Some skills written for previous models were triggering too often or preventing the model from checking its work.
- An opt-in context management experiment that could cause early stops or replies to older messages. We've disabled it. Our rough estimate is that 4-5k users were affected by this experiment.
- We've also removed some badly configured engines that resulted in a measured quality degradation for a long tail of traffic flowing through them.
We’ve also made some more minor improvements and things should feel significantly better across the board. More consistent follow-through, better tracking of your latest message, and better checks on the work as it’s going through the motions.
The examples posted and all the users who worked directly with us were incredibly useful in helping fix things quickly. Always grateful for this incredible community.
And of course, a reset is also landing by midnight today.

GPT-Live-1 is now available in the API.
Bring ChatGPT’s natural back-and-forth to your app, with voice agents that listen while they speak and work with the models and harness you choose.

AI isn’t going to wipe out humans. But AI doomers have a shot at hamstringing the most incredible advancement for humanity since the steam engine. We can’t let that happen.
ChatGPT 6 Astra is AGI, but only if you use it the right way
I've used Astra for dozens of hours now. To get the most out of it, you need to master these things:
• Computer Use
• Thinking levels
• Prompting techniques
In this video I cover them all plus 4 more hacks:

Because we are beyond happy to have Astra rolled out today ahead of schedule and you have been super patient with us (not really, but it’s ok!)… we will do the full banked reset today too for all Plus, Pro and Business users. Lands end of day.
Happy Astra day and enjoy a phenomenal weekend.
PS: If you create the account or upgrade before 8pm PT you will get it too. Still time!

first, sorry for the messy rollout.
second, when we screw up, we try to make it right.
third, we should be able to begin broad rollout to API customers and chatgpt subscribers in the near future. as usual we will start with pro subscribers.

We will give one banked reset for every day you don't have access to Astra on your paid ChatGPT plan, starting today. Team is moving mountains to give access as fast as we can.
First one will land in ~ 3 hours. There is still time to create your account if you don't have one.

We are working towards getting Astra in everyone's hands as quickly as we can; I know it is frustrating and I appreciate the patience. It should be quick.
Today's the day
ChatGPT-6 Astra will release. The most powerful AI model ever made, with enough usage to do what you want
Days like this don’t happen often. It’s absolutely critical you lock in:
1. Test these models the moment they drop
2. Audit all of your personal operating systems. Put your Grok Bot/Hermes/ business/ career other operating systems through it to see what it thinks
3. If you don’t have your own personal benchmark tests based on your every day workflows and tasks, build them now (will open source mine soon)
4. Put these new models on your latest projects. See how they hold up against what you were doing before
5. Plug them into your Hermes/OpenClaw. Measure cost per task vs speed
6. Have these newer models review your code built by older models. Find security gaps/optimization opportunities the less intelligent models couldn’t find before
99.99% of the world won’t even know what’s happening today. You’re going to be the .01% that jumps on this and attacks
Lock in.

BREAKING: OpenAI’s highly anticipated “Astra” model projected to be released tomorrow — 78% chance.
Claude Fable 5.1 is moments away from release.
You need to start preparing immediately
I HIGHLY recommend everyone builds their own testing harness based on the tasks they do most often
Trust NO benchmarks Anthropic or random people on X use
I built my own. Here's how:
1. Go to Claude Code (or your favorite coding agent)
2. Ask it to categorize the work you do into 5 high level categories
3. Say you want to build a model benchmarking harness. Ask it to come up with a benchmark test for each of your categories. These should be complex, multistep tests
4. Ask it to build a web app to host these tests. Ask it to plug into Vercel's AI router so you can get a full list of models available and test any of them head to head
5. The moment the model drops, run the battery of tests head to head with the new model and also compared to the model you've been using lately.
You'll be in a good spot to make a true judgement on just how good these new models are
