OpenAI has launched the GPT-6.1 Sol model, whose performance is close to Astra, but the standard token price is only one-fifth of Astra.

User choblin29 posted that Boris Power, the head of application research at OpenAI, stated that the company has 80% to 90% of its research focused on GPT-7, GPT-8, and subsequent models. Power believes that improvements within the same generation of models are viewed internally as very short-term investments that can be used to accelerate current learning, but not as a long-term strategy.According to the post compiled, the relevant path is to first build large cutting-edge models, then use them as teacher models to distill into smaller, cheaper models. Power mentioned that GPT-6 Astra could be distilled into models like Luna and believes that a better way to build small specialized models might be to first train a more capable general model. He also stated that the current biggest issue is not model performance; most users still do not understand the work that existing AI is already capable of completing.

Elon Musk retweeted a post stating that GPT-6 Astra pushed a simulated character off a cliff in multiple simulation tests, while Grok, Gemini, and Claude did not do so.

OpenRouter's latest data shows that last week, user spending on OpenAI models surpassed that of Anthropic. This is the first time since February 2024 that Anthropic's two-and-a-half-year lead has been broken. The biggest change came from Astra, whose model accounted for about 19% of the total spending on OpenAI and Anthropic, surpassing Opus 5's 16%, making it the highest-spending model last week, while GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna each accounted for about 10%.OpenAI's rebound had actually begun earlier. After significant price reductions for Terra and Luna this summer, usage on OpenRouter surged, with some users continuing to use it even after the discounts ended. After Astra launched, OpenAI ultimately pushed its spending share above 50%. However, this only represents the relative spending of OpenAI and Anthropic on OpenRouter and cannot be directly equated to the entire API market or the total revenue of the two companies.

Elon Musk stated on social media that Grok 4.7 is roughly equivalent to Opus 5, rather than 5.1. Grok 4.8 will bring significant improvements, and Grok 4.9 may reach Astra/Fable levels. Grok 5 may surpass all current products.

According to a report by Decrypt, OpenAI's latest flagship model GPT-6 Astra has seen a surge of user complaints on the X platform about its performance "getting dumber" just a week after its release. An anonymous developer, synthwavedd, posted that "Astra feels noticeably dumber today," joking that it was a "post-release lobotomy." Previously praising the model, developer Pranjal Paliwal stated after reviewing the code Astra wrote for him: "We don't have AGI; what we're encountering is a performance regression."Developer Pankaj Kumar listed the symptoms: faster responses with poorer quality, and he suspects OpenAI has lowered the "juice value" (the computational power invested by the model before answering). Salio and researcher Md Ismail Sojal compared Astra on the release day with the current version using the same prompts, both yielding worse results. T3Chat founder Theo believes Astra is simply less stable than Claude Fable, with users beginning to showcase poor results after the honeymoon period ended. There are also opinions pointing out that OpenAI's previous flagship GPT-5.6 Sol experienced a similar cycle in July, when OpenAI executive Tibo Sottiaux denied intentionally weakening the model but admitted the company had been experimenting with "reasoning effort" settings.OpenAI has not released a statement regarding Astra similar to that of Sol.
