OpenAI's next frontier model, GPT-6.2 Astra, has appeared in Codex usage analytics for some users, with the model ID showing up on the October 31 bar in usage breakdowns.

• The model ID gpt-6.2-astra appears only on the October 31 bar in usage breakdowns, with its share varying from 1.6% to 37.7% of a user's activity, suggesting some requests are being quietly routed to the new model as an A/B test or staged rollout.
• X user Token Gremlin shared a raw response event with the model field reading 'gpt-6.2-astra,' calling it official, which TestingCatalog says is strong evidence the ID is live on OpenAI's servers but not an announcement.
• OpenAI has not mentioned GPT-6.2 Astra anywhere, and its model documentation still lists GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna.
