OpenAI has not released or officially named any GPT-6 model as of August 2026, with GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna remaining the current public flagship family after their July rollout. Trader sentiment centers on Astra, the next major frontier large language model publicly referenced by OpenAI on August 1 with new mathematics research results, though the company has not confirmed it will ship as GPT-6 versus a GPT-5.x point release or under the Astra brand. Safety reviews under the Preparedness Framework, including unresolved “Critical” cybersecurity capability questions, plus U.S. regulatory scrutiny on frontier AI, continue to shape timelines amid competitive pressure from Anthropic’s Fable/Mythos models. Key upcoming catalysts include OpenAI DevDay on September 29, where naming, benchmarks, and release details could clarify the path forward.
