OpenAI Reportedly Tests GPT-6.2 Astra as Anthropic's Mythos 5.5 Surfaces
A separate gpt-6.2-astra entry appeared in some Codex usage statistics, while the public model list still shows GPT-6 Astra; meanwhile, a Mythos 5.5 reference was noticed on Anthropic's site.
OpenAI is reportedly testing GPT-6.2 Astra in secret. Early traces of the new model were noticed in Codex usage statistics.
The public list of available models still shows GPT-6 Astra, but some users have separately seen gpt-6.2-astra in usage stats.
Anthropic seems unable to let OpenAI stay in the spotlight for even a day without trying to pull attention toward itself. As soon as the first mentions of GPT-6.2 Astra appeared, a reference to Mythos 5.5 mysteriously surfaced as well.
