API model ID: `gpt-6-rosalind`. As of October 30, 2026, OpenAI is rolling it out to approved Research customers in Work, Codex, and the API, but not Chat. Enterprise workspaces begin with a two-week Admin Preview that is off by default; organization-level Research approval and authorized-user eligibility are still required.
— OpenAI began offering GPT-6 Rosalind Research to approved Research customers in Work, Codex, and the API, but not Chat; Enterprise workspaces start with a two-week Admin Preview that is off by default. API ID: `gpt-6-rosalind`. It uses the same weights as GPT-6 Astra, with no additional training data or post-training; its main distinction is life-sciences safeguards and controlled access. ↗
Why it mattered
Its distinct research-model name and API ID, together with specialized deployment safeguards for life-sciences work, merit a separate record. OpenAI explicitly says it uses the same weights as GPT-6 Astra with no additional training data or post-training. This record therefore represents a research-access and safeguards variant of Astra’s weights, not a new checkpoint, and does not copy specifications that were not verified for this model.
