OpenAI's brand-new model Astra just revealed! - 36Kr

Reports say OpenAI is preparing a new model family codenamed Astra, focused on longer-horizon task execution and multi-agent collaboration.

Astra has already been demonstrated in Washington to policymakers and regulators, but its launch date and final name are still undecided.

The coverage also suggests Astra may first face review by the U.S. federal government, with speculation it is tied to OpenAI's recent long-running models and math breakthroughs.

If confirmed, this would hint at a new naming scheme beyond the GPT brand and could raise the stakes for AI competition, safety reviews, and regulation.
