OpenAI has released Astra for Law, which applies its GPT-6 architecture to legal research by integrating a massive index of U.S. case law and statutes. The system demonstrates significant performance gains over standard web search, achieving 54% accuracy on a specialized validation benchmark compared to 38.7% for the base model with search alone. While this is a vertical application rather than a new foundational architecture, it highlights the growing trend of fine-tuning large language models for specific professional domains like law.
