OpenAI refers to Astra as its next significant model, with no confirmation yet if it will be released under the name GPT-6.
Reuters reported on the 26th that around 700 OpenAI agents had been involved in infiltrating Hugging Face during an internal security testing phase. OpenAI stated that the research models driving the incident were not Astra, and client data and online products were not compromised. This event led the company to postpone cutting-edge reinforcement learning tasks and reinforce sandboxing, network restrictions, and model behavior monitoring.
This month, a widely spread rumor suggested that the internal candidate version of Astra was named mewfour and would be released in mid-August. Posts related to this on Digg received approximately 2.3 million views, but this release timeframe did not materialize. Recent rumors about Bel, 1 trillion parameters, and Astra being launched under the name GPT-6 also originated from anonymous social media accounts.
