An X user reports that a new OpenAI model has appeared with the same distinctive 'fierce hallucinogenic' quality that the old GPT-4o had — but more evolved and much smarter, arguing it's a fresh chance to study what 4o was about.
danielmac8 jokingly dubs it 'GPT-6.2 Astra', implying an unannounced next-gen model. Shared outputs are called 'extraordinary'. This is third-party observation, not confirmed by OpenAI.
