GPT-6.2 Astra
A next-generation large model from OpenAI. Its internal prototype is said to outperform existing versions on open-ended mathematics problems; it has not yet been officially released.
Timeline (last 90 days)
GPT-6.2 Astra has been spotted in the model selector of the Codex desktop app, while two candidate IDs briefly appeared on the model tracker ('rc' may stand for release candidate, 'vm' may hint at a computer-use environment) and disappeared a few minutes later.
On the Bench 2.0 benchmark, an internal model scored 0.875 while Astra scored 0.594; the internal model's lowest reasoning tier scored 0.758, already surpassing Astra's result when running at full effort.
According to the YouTube channel World of AI, OpenAI's next-generation internal model GPT-6.2 Astra scores 0.875 on BenchCAD 2.0, while the current GPT-6 Astra scores 0.594.
GPT-6.2 Astra SVG generation examples circulating in the community include reproducing game scenes such as Counter-Strike's Dust2 and Call of Duty's Nuketown in pure code, one of which packs millions of characters into a single line of code and animates it.
Some of the "pure SVG" works going viral on X were identified by AI image detectors as containing OpenAI watermarks, suggesting they may have been processed with image tools or 3D/Python tools rather than being generated entirely from code.
MIT found that frontier models can directly hand-write neural networks, and the Breakout network that GPT-6.2 Astra wrote from scratch scored 20 times that of the PPU-trained version.
OpenAI CEO Altman publicly stated that GPT-6.2 Astra is "coming soon."
On open math problems, the lowest tier of OpenAI's internal prototype already outperforms the highest tier of the existing Astra.
GPT-6 Astra in Max reasoning mode achieved an average rubric score of 55.0%.
