OpenAI trains GPT-6 Astra to use business software

Original title: Advancing computer use with Ironclad

Plain language

What it is: OpenAI partnered with the contracting software company Ironclad to train and evaluate AI agents on complex business workflows. They used these tasks to train their model, GPT-6 Astra, to better use specialized software.
How it works: Researchers identified 11 real-world contracting tasks and set up virtual environments for the AI to practice. The AI learned through practice and feedback using reinforcement learning.
Where it is available: This research was conducted in hosted software environments provided by Ironclad. OpenAI is looking to partner with a small number of other software companies for similar research.
Example: Setting up a procurement approval process where purchases above a certain amount must be routed to finance for approval.

What it is: OpenAI collaborated with Ironclad to train and evaluate AI agents on complex, multi-step contracting workflows. The research focused on training GPT-6 Astra to execute specialized software tasks and verify requirements.
How it works: The team defined 11 tasks, created synthetic training tasks from public SEC EDGAR contracts, and used reinforcement learning in hosted Ironclad environments.
Where it is available: The training and evaluation took place in hosted software environments provided by Ironclad.
Example: Updating a reusable legal clause automatically so that it reflects the specific jurisdiction selected by a requester.
