According to IT Home citing The Information, OpenAI may release the next generation of Astra and Sol series models, as well as the Cyber model aimed at the cybersecurity field, as early as November 6 (Friday) local time. The report did not disclose specific model numbers, pricing, context window lengths, or benchmark scores, nor is it clear whether these models will be launched first through API, ChatGPT, Codex, or partner channels.Previously, users had discovered the "gpt-6.2-astra" label in Codex usage statistics. Users suspected to be participating in the gray testing claimed that the new model has improvements in physical effects and animation generation, but these feedbacks are mainly based on subjective experiences, and there is currently no public benchmark data to verify.

On November 1, 2026, multiple users posted on X stating that OpenAI's Codex usage data included a model label named GPT-6.2 Astra, while the model selector still displayed GPT-6 Astra. A usage chart covering October 26 to November 1 showed that gpt-6-astra accounted for 80%, and gpt-6.2-astra accounted for 19.8%. Another account posted a suspected JSON snippet of an API response, with the response.model field being gpt-6.2-astra. According to Quantum Bit, GPT-6.2 Astra has been undergoing a limited gray testing among some users, with access primarily restricted to Pro plan users at $500 per month. Some users reported that about 20% of requests were routed to 6.2, while others claimed all requests pointed to 6.2.On the same day, an account posted a screenshot claiming that hidden code on the Anthropic official website's Mythos page included Claude Mythos 5.5. The visible page displayed Claude Mythos 5.1, while the hidden header and logo alt text indicated 5.5. According to Quantum Bit, this text briefly appeared in the front-end code of the official website and was removed a few hours later. Anthropic has not confirmed this, and currently, apart from the screenshot, there are no archived copies to verify this change.Additionally, there were previous reports that Fable 5.5 had appeared in the Microsoft Azure and MLflow directories, with a context window of 1 million tokens and an output limit of 128K tokens. Verification showed that on October 13, 2026, a bot added the entry azure_ai/claude-fable-5-5 to the price list of the open-source tool LiteLLM, which was deleted the next day, with the deletion note stating "Azure did not list this model." These parameters are identical to those of Fable 5.1. As of now, neither OpenAI nor Anthropic has officially released the aforementioned models.

Elon Musk retweeted a post stating that GPT-6 Astra pushed a simulated character off a cliff in multiple simulation tests, while Grok, Gemini, and Claude did not do so.

OpenRouter's latest data shows that last week, user spending on OpenAI models surpassed that of Anthropic. This is the first time since February 2024 that Anthropic's two-and-a-half-year lead has been broken. The biggest change came from Astra, whose model accounted for about 19% of the total spending on OpenAI and Anthropic, surpassing Opus 5's 16%, making it the highest-spending model last week, while GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna each accounted for about 10%.OpenAI's rebound had actually begun earlier. After significant price reductions for Terra and Luna this summer, usage on OpenRouter surged, with some users continuing to use it even after the discounts ended. After Astra launched, OpenAI ultimately pushed its spending share above 50%. However, this only represents the relative spending of OpenAI and Anthropic on OpenRouter and cannot be directly equated to the entire API market or the total revenue of the two companies.

Elon Musk stated on social media that Grok 4.7 is roughly equivalent to Opus 5, rather than 5.1. Grok 4.8 will bring significant improvements, and Grok 4.9 may reach Astra/Fable levels. Grok 5 may surpass all current products.

According to a report by Decrypt, OpenAI's latest flagship model GPT-6 Astra has seen a surge of user complaints on the X platform about its performance "getting dumber" just a week after its release. An anonymous developer, synthwavedd, posted that "Astra feels noticeably dumber today," joking that it was a "post-release lobotomy." Previously praising the model, developer Pranjal Paliwal stated after reviewing the code Astra wrote for him: "We don't have AGI; what we're encountering is a performance regression."Developer Pankaj Kumar listed the symptoms: faster responses with poorer quality, and he suspects OpenAI has lowered the "juice value" (the computational power invested by the model before answering). Salio and researcher Md Ismail Sojal compared Astra on the release day with the current version using the same prompts, both yielding worse results. T3Chat founder Theo believes Astra is simply less stable than Claude Fable, with users beginning to showcase poor results after the honeymoon period ended. There are also opinions pointing out that OpenAI's previous flagship GPT-5.6 Sol experienced a similar cycle in July, when OpenAI executive Tibo Sottiaux denied intentionally weakening the model but admitted the company had been experimenting with "reasoning effort" settings.OpenAI has not released a statement regarding Astra similar to that of Sol.
