Speculation: DevDay brings a new model, but not GPT-6.1 Astra
The author argues the "o" hints point to the always-on assistant dots rather than a model, that Astra 6.1 is ruled out, but that OpenAI won't hold its biggest DevDay with no new model at all.

gpt-6o is likely coming today at devday. here's why i'm more confident now. openai's always-on assistant isn't called "o." it's called dots. so all the "o" vagueposting wasn't about the assistant. then what was it about? gpt-6.1 astra is off the table. but there's no way openai runs its biggest devday with 20+ launches and zero new model. and tibo hasn't looked worried once. even after opus 5.5 and sonent 5.5 dropped.
