Rumor: OpenAI to release Bel, stronger than Astra, while Anthropic stops at Fable

Unverified leak: OpenAI reportedly plans to release Bel, a model more capable than Astra — significant because Anthropic says it won't release anything beyond Fable. Followers speculate the 50% usage cut on the $200 tier was made to clear the way for Bel, and that Astra 6.1 may have been scrapped.
