ChatGPT UI Confusion: Chat Mode Lacks Astra, Dropdown Shows 'Latest' Instead of GPT-6

Miles Brundage flags a confusing state in ChatGPT's model picker: Work mode has Astra, but Chat mode appears to lack it entirely. He later edits to clarify that Chat does have Astra—the dropdown is just confusing, since selecting it changes the "6" (as in GPT-6) to "Latest."
