OpenAI confirmed on September 28 the cancellation of the originally scheduled October GPT-6.1 Astra; Saachi Jain, head of safety systems, said it did not meet the standards of "task scope and authorization" and "truthfully reporting completed work," and officials have yet to provide a new schedule. In late October, some interpreted Codex "banked reset" as a precursor to release, and others captured "gpt-6.2-astra" appearing in Codex usage, but OpenAI has not confirmed.
On Anthropic's side, recent discussion has shifted more toward "a new model release this month, especially around the IPO roadshow," mixed with unverified signals such as routing tests and the "Mythos 5.5" text in the site's source code.
Google's Gemini Carbon has been officially announced, but public availability has not yet begun; officials say it is undergoing the U.S. government's voluntary pre-release testing, first given to some cybersecurity defenders and Fairwind partners, then "as soon as possible" expanded to developers, enterprises, and consumers; Google's November 2 monthly review still described it as in pre-release.
