About OpenAI GPT-6 Astra

GPT-6 Astra is a reasoning, coding and vision model from OpenAI with a 1.05M-token context window and up to 128K tokens of output per call. It is billed per token at the provider's list rate, with no markup on chat tokens. A request whose prompt reaches 272K tokens is billed entirely at the long-context tier, $20.00 in and $75.00 out per million. It is served through BlockRun's OpenAI-compatible API, so it can be called without an account, an API key, or a subscription.

What it costs

GPT-6 Astra is billed per token. The underlying rates are $10.00 per million input tokens and $50.00 per million output tokens with no platform margin on chat tokens; only a small per-transaction fee covering on-chain settlement is added on top, and the resulting price is quoted in the 402 before you pay. You are charged for the tokens a request actually consumes — there is no monthly commitment and no unused balance to forfeit. With a context window of 1,050,000 tokens and up to 128,000 tokens of output, a single call can carry a substantial working set.

Calling it from your code

Pass openai/gpt-6-astra as the model field. Because the endpoint mirrors the OpenAI chat completions schema, any existing OpenAI client works by changing the base URL — streaming, tool use, and multi-turn messages all behave the same way.

The first request returns a 402 carrying the exact price; a signed retry runs it, and client libraries fold the two into one call — how the payment works. See the documentation for request and response shapes, the LLM API page for every model on this endpoint, or browse the full catalog of 78 chat models to compare alternatives.

Related models

Every model on BlockRun is reached through the same endpoint and the same payment flow, so switching is a one-line change to the model field. These are the closest alternatives to GPT-6 Astra:

Two ways to run this

Get an API key

Sign in, get a key, and call the same endpoints with usage billed to your account. For teams that want one invoice instead of one wallet.

Get an API key 

Or let your agent pay per call, in USDC

No account, no API key. Three steps, and the last one is the request this page is about.

  1. 01
    Point your agent at BlockRun

    Install ClawRouter, or add the BlockRun MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or OpenClaw. Any OpenAI-compatible client works too — change the base URL, nothing else.

    curl -fsSL https://blockrun.ai/ClawRouter-update | bash
  2. 02
    Fund a wallet with USDC

    Send USDC to a wallet on Base or Solana. There is no account to create and no API key to issue: the wallet is the account, and it pays per call.

  3. 03
    Call GPT-6 Astra

    The first call returns HTTP 402 with the exact price, your agent signs it, and the answer comes back. Payment settles on-chain; nothing is charged if the call fails.

    curl -X POST https://blockrun.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "openai/gpt-6-astra", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]}'
