OpenAI introduced a specialized Astra for Law model

Company OpenAI released a specialized tool Astra for Law, designed to automate legal research, the system combines the capabilities of the GPT-6 Astra model with the indexing of legal databases, covering more than 230 million URL and 99.9% of US precedent law. The implementation of a specialized search index made it possible to achieve a 40% relative improvement in the accuracy of searching and analyzing legal documents compared to the basic version of GPT-6 Astra, the tool is focused on working with large data arrays, ensuring high relevance of answers in narrow specialized legal contexts. To ensure data security in Astra for Law, a Zero Data Retention policy is implemented, which excludes the storage of user requests and documents on the company's servers, this is a critically important parameter for maintaining attorney-client privilege and confidentiality of client information when working with AI assistants. The platform supports integration with professional legal software through a plugin system, currently native support for Relativity and Clio tools is implemented, which allows lawyers to use the model's capabilities directly in familiar work environments for case management and evidence analysis. The launch of Astra for Law marks the transition from universal chatbots to vertically integrated solutions, where the accuracy of the model is reinforced by verified external knowledge bases, this reduces the likelihood of hallucinations when working with regulatory acts and accelerates the process of preparing legal conclusions.
