🚨 Codex Users!!! OpenAI may be preparing a new Astra model GPT-6-Astra “Light” could be a smaller, cheaper version of Astra rather than a new flagship. Honestly, that’s not what Codex users are asking for. We need a serious high-end model that can actually compete with Opus 5.5 and Fable. OpenAI, stop playing it safe. We want the flagship. We want the powerhouse. Give us the model that changes the game.
