Leak outlines OpenAI roadmap: GPT-6.1 Astra, Aeon and a $500–$1,000 tier
TokenGremlin lays out OpenAI's plans: GPT-6.1 Astra, said to be stronger than Opus 5.5; Aeon, aimed at Grok Bot; and a new $500–$1,000 tier, while worrying that frontier intelligence will serve only 1% of people.
So now OpenAI’s plan is becoming much clearer: → A model stronger than Opus 5.5: GPT-6.1 Astra → A bot meant to compete with, or surpass, Grok Bot: Aeon → A new $500–$1,000 tier capable of actually sustaining all of this without burning through the weekly quota in 10 minutes If all of these pieces really come together, then we can probably see where OpenAI is heading. And honestly, I’m not sure I’m happy about it. At those prices, this kind of frontier intelligence stops being something broadly accessible and becomes a product for maybe 1% of the global population. That’s the part that worries me.
