OpenAI Speed Boost Arrives on Nvidia Hardware

OpenAI has rolled out GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast, leveraging Nvidia Blackwell GPUs to deliver token generation speeds up to eight times faster than the standard mode for API, ChatGPT Work, and Codex users.

  • Nvidia continues its successful strategy of being the undisputed arms dealer in a gold rush where nobody else is guaranteed a profit.

Why should I care? Ehhh
Test the speed if you have spare API credits, but don't expect it to fix the underlying logic.
