Leaked: OpenAI's Secret 'Bel' Model Slated for Year-End After Astra's Agent-1 Stage
haider1 · x · 2026-09-03
Rumor thread claims OpenAI has a big pre-trained model called "Bel" in the pipeline after Astra, which is still at the Agent-1 stage. The cited report says Astra won't be the best model this year and a "monster" model is slated for end of year, possibly pushed to early next year by security testing. Continuous learning shown for Agent-2 is framed as the real game changer, potentially putting OpenAI ahead of the "AI-2027" timeline. Unverified leak.
