Use GPT-6 Astra in your client

Create a CODEX API key in your dashboard, replace YOUR_DASHBOARD_API_KEY, and run this request in a Bash-compatible terminal. The key and its funding source need a positive balance; this request consumes quota.

This example includes all the text needed for the task. It does not read your local project.

curl --globoff --fail-with-body 'https://api.aiinide.com/responses' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_DASHBOARD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"gpt-6-astra","reasoning":{"effort":"low"},"input":"Rewrite this sentence in plain English: The application facilitates the modification of account settings.","max_output_tokens":4096}'

Check for status: "completed" and an output_text item in output[].content[], such as “The app lets you change your account settings.” Wording may vary. If the status is incomplete, check incomplete_details.reason. The output limit includes reasoning tokens; increase it if they exhaust the limit. Then check your usage records.

Example: usage versus a top-up purchase

Each row uses a 3:1 input-to-output mix and no cache reads. Quota consumed is the cost of that mix. The top-up column is a separate purchase.

The quota column is what this token mix consumes. The top-up column is the smallest purchase the slider accepts: $50, then steps of $25. A small task does not cost that purchase. Examples round top-up quota up to the next $25 with a $50 minimum. Actual charges vary by usage, plan, context, speed, and promotions.
