OpenAI CEO Sam Altman demonstrated a new model, Astra, to policymakers and regulators in Washington, D.C. this week, as reported by The Information on July 31, citing three sources. OpenAI emphasized that Astra can run multiple agents together for long periods to solve particularly difficult tasks such as projects or advanced mathematics problems. Astra will be a new family of models from OpenAI following Sol, Terra and Luna. The release timing is not yet known, and sources said OpenAI has not decided whether to name it GPT-6 or release it as a GPT-5 family model such as GPT-5.7. The models have already entered testing and are expected to be the first to go through a federal government pre-submission system for new AI models that the Trump administration is preparing, according to one source. Sources also said OpenAI plans to release a report in the short term detailing how its latest AI solved 10 previously unsolved difficult mathematics problems.
