GPT 6.2 (2026): not released — the Astra and Sol leaks, and what you can use now

As of November 13, 2026, OpenAI has not officially released GPT-6.2: a gpt-6.2-astra id showed up in some Codex usage data at the end of October, but OpenAI’s model and pricing pages list no GPT-6.2, and the closest models you can use now are GPT-6.1 Sol ($2 / $10 per million tokens) and GPT-6 Astra ($10 / $50).

FAQ

GPT-6.2 FAQ

Is GPT-6.2 out?

Confirmed: no. OpenAI’s model page lists GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6.1 Terra, GPT-6 Luna and GPT-6 Cyber. Rumoured: a gpt-6.2-astra id appeared in some Codex usage data on October 31, which users read as a test.

When is the GPT-6.2 release date?

Confirmed: OpenAI has given no date. Rumoured: The Information reported on November 4 that updated Astra and Sol models could come as soon as November 6; that date passed without a GPT-6.2, while GPT-6 Cyber was announced on November 5.

What are GPT-6.2 Astra and GPT-6.2 Sol?

Confirmed: Astra and Sol are OpenAI’s names for its flagship GPT-6 Astra and the cheaper GPT-6.1 Sol. Rumoured: “GPT-6.2 Astra” comes from the Codex usage id; a 6.2 Sol comes only from news reports. OpenAI has confirmed neither.

How much will GPT-6.2 cost?

Confirmed: no price. Rumoured: we found no price claim with a named source. Today GPT-6 Astra costs $10 / $50 and GPT-6.1 Sol $2 / $10 per million input / output tokens.

Is GPT-6.2 better than GPT-6 Astra?

Confirmed: OpenAI has published no GPT-6.2 benchmark. Rumoured: demos posted on X during the Codex test cannot be tied to 6.2, because the Codex picker does not show which model answered; the “Bell” size figures are unconfirmed.

GPT-6.2 vs GPT-6.1 Sol: which should I use now?

GPT-6.1 Sol: GPT-6.2 is not released, so it cannot be used anywhere yet. OpenAI describes GPT-6.1 Sol as “Near-Astra performance for complex work at a lower cost”, at $2 / $10 per million input / output tokens; GPT-6 Astra costs $10 / $50.

What can I use now instead?

GPT-6.1 Sol, which OpenAI describes as near-Astra performance at a lower cost, or GPT-6 Astra itself; each card above opens the chat with that model.
