OpenAI never launches big models on Fridays, and no Astra 6.2 teases yet
haider1 · x · 2026-11-06
Haider notes OpenAI has historically never launched big models on Fridays — the last Friday-level moves were o3-mini in Jan 2025 and the limited-preview gpt-5.6 sol/terra/luna. If "Astra 6.2" were really launching today, he'd expect vague teases from OpenAI employees by now, but nothing has appeared — casting doubt on the rumor (unverified).
