Prediction: OpenAI to Launch Automated Research Intern Model Next Month
haider1 · x · 2026-08-16
Developer Haider predicts that OpenAI aims to deliver an 'automated AI research intern' by next month. Based on the performance of Astra, he speculates that this milestone will be powered by a new 'Astra series' of models. This series could represent a new model class similar to Anthropic's Fable/Mythos, potentially involving a new pre-training approach rather than being an iteration like GPT-5.7.
