OpenAI's flagship multimodal assistant powered by GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 for reasoning, coding, and deep research.
Automatically routes prompts or lets users select between Instant responses and Medium, High, or Extra High thinking depth across GPT-5.6 Luna, GPT-5.6 Sol, and flagship GPT-6 Pro/Astra models.
Asynchronous software engineering and task agents that clone repositories, run terminal tests in sandboxed environments, resolve complex bugs, and submit pull requests.
Browses dozens of primary web sources, academic papers, and connected workspace documents over several minutes to compile structured, citation-backed analytical reports.
Provides a split-screen editor for inline prose and code revisions alongside low-latency voice conversations with live screen and camera grounding.

Trae reads your project files and dependencies, so its suggestions account for how the codebase is actually structured rather than treating each file in isolation.
Describe a task and the agent plans and applies multi-file edits, shows a diff for review, and can run terminal commands as part of the change.
Ask questions about unfamiliar code, get inline explanations, and have bugs or failing tests diagnosed and fixed with context.
TraeCode covers the coding workflow, while TraeWork applies an AI assistant to everyday knowledge tasks — both download for desktop, with a web option.
