ABOUT THE MODEL

GPT-6.2 Astra API

A place to check what is known, what is still unconfirmed, and which text APIs you can evaluate today.

Status (as of Nov 4, 2026). GPT-6.2 Astra is not a publicly released OpenAI API model. OpenAI’s model catalog and API changelog still center on GPT-6 Astra (gpt-6-astra) as the flagship for the hardest end-to-end work. The identifier gpt-6.2-astra has appeared in some Codex usage breakdowns and in at least one shared response.completed payload since about Oct 31–Nov 1, while the product picker continued to show GPT-6 Astra. That pattern is consistent with a limited gray test or traffic split—not with a documented developer launch.

What remains open. OpenAI has not published a release date, list price, context window, system card, or selectable public route for gpt-6.2-astra. Explicit CLI/API selection outside the reported test cohort has returned model_not_found. Separate rumors around gpt-6.2-betelgeuse (“Bel”), brief unannounced API IDs such as rc-ada-or-vm / rc-ada-sh-vm, and unnamed “Internal Model” benchmark charts should be tracked separately until OpenAI ties them to a named public model. Media reports that GPT-6.1 Astra was shelved over safety concerns in late September explain why people expect a 6.2 jump—but “6.2 equals a fixed 6.1” remains speculation.

What to do on GPTProto today. This pre-release page has no active GPT-6.2 Astra route. A GPTProto API key does not unlock gpt-6.2-astra before the route is verified. Use a listed model such as GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, or GPT-6.1 Terra, keep the model ID in one config value, and re-check this page when a verified public ID, rate, and GPTProto route exist.

01

Track the gray rollout

Codex usage charts and response events have shown gpt-6.2-astra while the picker still says GPT-6 Astra. Treat that as a reported silent split. Watch OpenAI’s changelog and model catalog for a public confirmation.

02

Separate rumors from the public API

A usage label is not a documented developer route. Betelgeuse/Bel, parameter-count claims, discount rumors, and “shipping this week” posts are unconfirmed. Do not copy GPT-6 Astra’s price sheet onto 6.2.

03

Check GPTProto access

GPTProto is not an active GPT-6.2 Astra provider on this page. A usable route needs a confirmed public model ID, request format, and current rate. Those details appear here only after verification.

04

Evaluate a listed model today

For work you can ship now, compare GPT-6 Astra (hardest end-to-end), GPT-6.1 Sol (near-Astra at lower list rates), and GPT-6.1 Terra (visual / computer-use / writing). Keep the model ID configurable for a one-line switch later.

REPORTED SIGNALS

Evidence vs what it does not prove

Keep Codex sightings and media rumors separate from a documented public launch.

SignalObservedDoes not prove
Codex usage row gpt-6.2-astraMultiple accounts posted Oct 31–Nov 1 usage charts with a separate gpt-6.2-astra line while the picker still showed GPT-6 Astra. Single-account shares in screenshots ranged roughly 1.6%–19.8% of that account’s window—not a global penetration rate.A public launch, selectable Codex model, published price, or that every account is in the cohort.
response.completed model fieldAt least one shared response.completed fragment named model gpt-6.2-astra.That you can select the ID yourself, or that OpenAI has documented the route.
Forced CLI/API selectThird-party checks reported codex --model gpt-6.2-astra returning 400 model_not_found outside the test cohort; the official gpt-6.2-astra model page has returned 404.Nothing contradictory—this reinforces that public selection is not available.
Betelgeuse / BelSeparate Discord/internal-tracker screenshots and X posts named gpt-6.2-betelgeuse or Bel around Oct 28–30.That Bel and gpt-6.2-astra are the same model. Keep them in different buckets until OpenAI says otherwise.
Nov 4 RC / dual-VM flash reportsMedia reported brief API list sightings of rc-ada-or-vm and rc-ada-sh-vm, rapid removal, 503s on early calls, plus an OpenAI engineering post chart with an unnamed Internal Model. Not confirmed by OpenAI as gpt-6.2-astra.Official GPT-6.2 Astra specs, pricing, or that those RC IDs are the public product name.

PUBLIC LAUNCH

How to tell it is really live

A usage-log line alone is not a public release. Use this checklist before changing production routes.

  1. 01OpenAI API changelog names gpt-6.2-astra.
  2. 02The official model page and catalog list the ID (no 404).
  3. 03GET /v1/models with your own key returns gpt-6.2-astra.
  4. 04Codex lists it as selectable and codex -m gpt-6.2-astra no longer returns model_not_found.
  5. 05Deployment Safety Hub publishes a matching System Card or addendum.
  6. 06A usage-log line alone is not enough—wait for the items above before changing production.

COMMON QUESTIONS

GPT-6.2 Astra API FAQ

Is GPT-6.2 Astra already live?

Gray-test signals exist; a public product launch does not. Some Codex accounts show gpt-6.2-astra in usage analytics and response events while the picker still says GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI has not listed the model in its API catalog, changelog, or as a selectable public route as of the Nov 4, 2026 snapshot on this page.

Is GPT-6.2 Astra available through GPTProto?

No. This pre-release page does not provide an active GPT-6.2 Astra route. A GPTProto API key does not unlock the model before that route is verified. A model ID, rate, and request example will be added here after access is confirmed. Explore current OpenAI models above.

When will GPT-6.2 Astra be released publicly?

OpenAI has announced no public release date. Social posts predicting “Monday,” “this week,” or “today” have already missed. Check OpenAI’s changelog and model documentation; a public release date and API availability may still differ.

How much will the GPT-6.2 Astra API cost?

No verified GPT-6.2 Astra rate is shown here. Do not copy GPT-6 Astra’s official Standard list prices ($10 input / $50 output per 1M tokens) onto 6.2. Gray-test usage does not establish billing. Pricing will be published when a supported route and its billing details are confirmed.

How do developers get GPT-6.2 Astra API access and an API key on GPTProto?

Not yet. GPTProto is not an active GPT-6.2 Astra API provider on this page, and there is no separate GPT-6.2 Astra API key. A GPTProto API key works with listed OpenAI models today, including GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, and GPT-6.1 Terra.

Can I call gpt-6.2-astra directly today?

Not as a documented public API. Outside the reported Codex test cohort, explicit calls with model gpt-6.2-astra have returned model_not_found. Until OpenAI publishes the route, use a listed model and keep your integration ready to swap the ID.

Is GPT-6.2 Astra the same as Betelgeuse / Bel?

No public evidence confirms that. gpt-6.2-astra appears mainly in Codex usage reports; gpt-6.2-betelgeuse / Bel appears in separate tracker screenshots and posts. This page tracks them as distinct rumors until OpenAI connects them.

Should I wait for GPT-6.2 Astra or use a current model?

If you need a testable API today, use GPT-6 Astra for the hardest end-to-end work, GPT-6.1 Sol when cost matters more, or GPT-6.1 Terra for visual reasoning, computer use, and everyday writing. Keep the model ID in one config value so you can switch when a verified public GPT-6.2 Astra route lands.
