New models like GPT-6 Astra pay off most as opportunity AI: unlocking work you never considered, not just doing old work faster.
Efficiency AI helps you do your existing work better, meaning faster, more efficiently or more cheaply, and will be the foundation for most AI use. Opportunity AI unlocks entirely new opportunities.
