OpenAI's New Astra, Sol and Cyber Models May Launch This Friday

According to The Information, OpenAI may release its new Astra and Sol model series, plus a Cyber model for cybersecurity, as early as Friday local time.

The report didn't share model numbers, pricing, or benchmark scores. It's also unclear if the models will roll out via API, ChatGPT, Codex, or partner channels. Some users already spotted a 'gpt-6.2-astra' tag in Codex usage stats.

Users who appear to be in early testing shared on X that the new models handle physics effects and animation better, with smoother motion transitions.

For now, these reports come from personal experience, and no public benchmark data can independently confirm the improvements yet.
