## Summary

Harvey, a platform for law firms and in‑house legal teams, now runs on GPT‑6 Astra. The model can ingest larger amounts of legal context, enabling the system to generate drafts that are more structured and better reflect the underlying material.

The service pulls court filings, firm documents, case‑law research and other sources, then synthesizes them into memoranda, pleadings or merger documents. A memory panel lets each lawyer encode personal drafting preferences—such as using numbered lists, giving priority to EDGAR filings, or applying colour‑coded issue tags—and these settings appear alongside source excerpts and the draft.

Harvey says the move to GPT‑6 Astra has produced noticeable improvements in document formatting and completeness compared with earlier models, allowing lawyers to spend more time on strategy rather than manual assembly.

## Key points

- Harvey runs on GPT‑6 Astra, letting it ingest larger legal context for draft generation.
- A memory panel lets lawyers set preferences like numbered lists, EDGAR priority, or colour‑coded issue tags.
- Customers report better formatting and more complete documents compared with earlier models.

## Why it matters

Using a larger‑context model for legal drafting reduces manual assembly, improves document quality, and lets lawyers concentrate on strategy, potentially accelerating litigation and transaction workflows across firms.
