Expanding access to OpenAI frontier models, including GPT-6 Astra

Under a new agreement, our engineering and product development teams get broader access to OpenAI frontier models.

Under a new agreement, we're giving Airbnb engineering and product development teams broader access to OpenAI frontier models, including GPT-6 Astra.

The expansion builds on our use of Codex and our longstanding collaboration with OpenAI. Airbnb engineers use an internal AI tooling platform to write software and to create remote AI agents powered by models including Codex and GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna.

The agreement gives us broader access to OpenAI models through OpenAI's APIs and Amazon Bedrock on AWS, Airbnb's preferred cloud provider. It comes as more developers, builders, and companies adopt GPT-6 Astra, many of them already working with the improved price-performance and efficiency of GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna.

Our early work with GPT-6 Astra shows strong results beyond coding. Astra helps our engineers move faster by tracking down difficult bugs, shaping system designs, and thinking through engineering approaches.

“Our development teams are shipping roughly 80% more features than a year ago. OpenAI's frontier models, including GPT-6 Astra, are a key element of our developer tooling that helps us keep that momentum going and build better products faster.”
