minorThe consensus was updated to add official context regarding OpenAI's unreleased internal next-generation model project, codenamed 'Astra', including safety evaluations and research details, while maintaining that there is no confirmed release date or official 'GPT-6' product name.
Short answer
The currently confirmed evidence does not show an OpenAI model officially called GPT-6. What OpenAI has publicly acknowledged is an unreleased internal model called Astra, described as its “next major model.” Whether that model will ultimately ship as GPT-6, a GPT-5.x point release, or under the Astra name itself is still unconfirmed.openaiopenai
What is actually confirmed
1) Announcement / existence
OpenAI has confirmed that Astra exists and is being used in internal research work, including a mathematics/theoretical CS post and a separate cybersecurity/safety update.openaiopenaiopenai
2) ChatGPT availability
There is no confirmed ChatGPT release for Astra/GPT-6 yet. OpenAI has not published ChatGPT release notes or model docs showing it as generally available in ChatGPT.openaiopenai
3) API availability
There is no confirmed API availability for Astra/GPT-6 yet, and no public API model entry or pricing page for it.openaiopenai
Name: will it be called GPT-6?
That remains unconfirmed. OpenAI has not published a model card or official product announcement naming the next flagship “GPT-6.” The only official name in public material is the internal/project name Astra.openaiopenai
Release timing
There is no confirmed release date or public release window for the next flagship model. OpenAI’s official posts instead show ongoing safety and cyber-capability review, which suggests the model is still in development rather than ready for launch.openaiopenai
Model variants
No official Astra variants have been announced. By contrast, OpenAI’s current released flagship family is GPT-5.6, which includes Sol, Terra, and Luna.openai Those are the only confirmed variants in the current flagship line; no equivalent Astra tiering has been published.
Benchmarks
OpenAI has not published a standard benchmark table for Astra/GPT-6. The most concrete public capability evidence is OpenAI’s mathematics/theoretical-CS post, which says an internal Astra version helped produce ten results with machine-checkable proofs.openai OpenAI also said preliminary security testing suggested Astra may reach its highest cyber-risk threshold, but that is a safety evaluation, not a public benchmark score.openaiopenai
Pricing
There is no confirmed pricing for Astra/GPT-6. OpenAI has published pricing for the current GPT-5.6 family, but those numbers do not establish pricing for the next flagship.openai
