OpenAI's unreleased Astra model leaks: first outputs of mozaik-alpha-fdm surface
gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-08-30
According to leaks from @testingcatalog and @Lentils80, OpenAI has expanded internal testing of the rumored Astra model, internally codenamed mozaik-alpha-fdm — previously described by OpenAI as a substantial step forward. First public outputs have surfaced (a Voxel Castle sample from the zAI Discord): generated zero-shot at Max effort, they suggest the frontend issues may finally be fixed, with markedly better attention to detail. The wider internal testing hints the release may be near. This is an unverified third-party leak.
