Users have reported seeing "gpt-6.2-astra" model records in their Codex usage details, while the model selector still displays GPT-6 Astra. One user's screenshot showed approximately 19.8% of requests allocated to the undisclosed model, sparking speculation that OpenAI is conducting a gray-release test. Not all users encountered the records, and some reported no such entries in their usage data. OpenAI has not issued an official statement on the matter as of press time, and the gpt-6.2-astra model has not appeared in the public API.
