GPT Astra leak: 'recurrent depth' reasoning, could launch tomorrow as GPT-5.7
mdancho84 · x · 2026-09-02
A circulating leak claims OpenAI's GPT Astra launches tomorrow, using a new reasoning approach called "recurrent depth" that lets the model repeatedly reason over a problem — potentially improving both intelligence and efficiency. Researchers are reportedly concerned the approach makes its reasoning harder to monitor. It could launch as GPT-5.7 Astra or simply GPT-Astra. The reposter calls it awesome if true and asks whether Astra will beat Fable 5.1.
Note: this is an unverified third-party leak.
