Rumor: OpenAI's updated Daybreak docs list GPT-6 Astra Minor as a mainline model, possibly a cheaper Astra variant

Unverified leak from @TokenGremlin: OpenAI's newly updated Daybreak documentation now explicitly lists "Astra Minor" as a supported mainline model alongside GPT-6 Astra, Sol, and Luna. It is recognized directly by OpenAI, treated as mainline rather than a specialized Cyber variant, and its safety handling groups closer to Astra than Sol or Luna. Benchmarks, pricing, context window, and release date remain unknown. The leaker hypothesizes it's a smaller, cheaper, more efficient Astra-derived model filling the gap between Sol and full Astra. Commenters note GPT-6 Sol was underwhelming, suggesting Astra Minor may take Sol's seat.
