Rumor: GPT-6.1 Terra ships first, Astra may be delayed
The poster predicts GPT-6.1 Terra will match or approach Opus 5.5, arguing OpenAI will push its mid-tier model first and hold Astra back.
I Have a Good news for ChatGPT users! GPT-6.1 Terra is coming and I’m confident it will either outperform Opus 5.5 or compete with it on the same level OpenAI seems to be following a similar playbook to Anthropic: "making its medium tier model incredibly powerful and competitive, rather than relying solely on its flagship models" IMO, GPT-6.1 Astra might take a step back for now with OpenAI focusing on Terra first before releasing Astra later
