A user has predicted the release window for OpenAI's next model (Astra/gpt-next) by analyzing behavioral patterns of OpenAI partners on social media.
Methodology:
- Core Logic: Partners typically receive NDA access 2-4 weeks before the official release, often ceasing public speculation upon gaining access.
- Data Observation: By monitoring posting frequency on Twitter/X, it was noted that several individuals stopped speculative posting between August 2 and August 7.
- Conclusion: There is moderate evidence suggesting partners received access during that period. Based on historical launch patterns, the official release is estimated to occur between late August and late September.
