Astra scores 55% on Ironclad workflow tasks

OpenAI reports GPT-6 Astra scored 55.0% across 11 Ironclad contracting tasks, versus 41.6% for GPT-5.6 Sol in its high-reasoning setting; the collaboration write-up says estimated time per attempt also fell from 37 to 19.2 minutes. The company says Ironclad staff helped define the tasks and each was graded against 8–50 criteria, so this is a narrow evaluation, not evidence of customer time savings. Teams tracking Astra’s staged rollout should consider its gated-access design and benchmark their own contract workflows before generalizing.
