OpenAI Plans to Launch Astra Model Next Week

According to a source, OpenAI plans to release a new pretrained model called Astra next week, with the internal codename mewfour. It is the largest model trained since GPT-4.5 and is expected to bring significant performance improvements. An early version of Astra has already shown strong abilities, having solved 10 important open math problems, with the token cost estimated at around $2,000 based on Sol API rates.

In terms of capabilities, Astra focuses on organizing and coordinating AI agents, suitable for long-term and high-difficulty tasks, aiming to enhance reasoning and collaborative workflows. This release is expected to advance AI in complex problem-solving and automated collaboration, and the industry is looking forward to its official performance.
