OpenAI released Astra for Law, a legal-industry version of its GPT-6 Astra technology designed to support research, advice drafting and custom application development. Reuters reported that the product combines the model with an index of U.S. case law, statutes and regulations plus instructions tailored to legal analysis.

OpenAI said Harvey and Legora will be able to build on the platform, while integrations include Relativity, Clio, Intapp and Thomson Reuters. Selected law firms will receive initial access through a program that includes protections for confidential client work; Reuters did not report general availability or pricing.
