According to an unverified leak, the Astra model launch was pushed back due to concerns over its capability, and it will now be named version 6.5. Both Sol and Astra will reportedly drop, each a large jump over Fable 5.2. The leaker adds the lab is skipping a version number due to IPO pressures — "model 5 time." Single-source rumor, no official confirmation.
