GPT-6 Astra: Use It or Save It?

I made this practical companion to help you choose a job that earns Astra, protect your allowance, and compare the result with your usual model.

  • Which version to look for in ChatGPT, Work, and Codex.
  • Jobs worth trying and jobs to leave on a smaller model.
  • A short context check before you begin.
  • A copyable first-test prompt and comparison scorecard.
