OpenAI Quietly Discloses a Model Far Beyond GPT-6 Astra, Released Just 4 Days Ago

Matthew Berman flags that OpenAI casually disclosed its Navier-Stokes agents ran on a model "significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra" — a model released only 4 days ago.
- And that model's training is "still ongoing"
- Implication: OpenAI's next-gen model already beats its newest flagship on evals before even finishing training.
