OpenAI 'Astra 6.2' leak sparks speculation it's the shelved 'Bel' model
haider1 · x · 2026-11-02
Blogger haider1 offers two scenarios for the rumored 'Astra 6.2' codename: it could be a bigger, more capable model—possibly the rumored 'Bel' that OpenAI previously chose not to release—or a temporary internal name for a model from the astra/sol/terra/luna lineup meant to avoid leaks. He doubts OpenAI would ship another mid-tier model. All unconfirmed speculation.
