What this query is asking
As of 2026-11-02, GPT-6.2 has not been released by OpenAI and no date has been announced. The official statements that can be checked word for word: the model docs list gpt-6-astra, gpt-6-sol, gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6.1-terra among others; an @OpenAI post of 2026-10-26 introduces GPT-6.1 Terra and says to pick GPT-6.1 Sol or GPT-6 Astra for in-depth research or complex coding; the newest stable release in the open-source Codex repository is rust-v0.166.0, dated 2026-10-29, and its notes add GPT-6.1 Terra to the model catalogs.
What the community has been posting since 2026-11-01
Several users posted that a line reading gpt-6.2-astra appeared in their Codex usage breakdown while the model picker still showed GPT-6 Astra (@leo114119 and @Mr_Salio, 2026-11-01). OpenAI has not confirmed it. Which accounts were included, whether the command line actually runs it and who hit errors is on the /gpt-6-2-astra-codex page.
Official timeline
OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra (gpt-6-astra) in the API changelog, described as its most capable model.
GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna were logged on the same day; on 2026-09-29 OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol (gpt-6.1-sol).
The last general-development model released so far is GPT-6.1 Terra (gpt-6.1-terra), which OpenAI describes as fast and efficient for visual reasoning and computer use.
Confirmed vs not verified
Officially confirmed
All of the following is checkable word for word on the official pages fetched on 2026-11-02: the model docs list gpt-6-astra, gpt-6-sol, gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6.1-terra among others, and GPT-6.2 is not one of them; the docs path for gpt-6.2-astra returns 404. The releases page for openai/codex shows rust-v0.166.0 as the newest stable build (2026-10-29) and rust-v0.167.0-alpha.3 as the newest pre-release (2026-11-01); the stable notes add GPT-6.1 Terra to the model catalogs, and the pre-release notes name no model. The announced DevDay Exchange dates are London 2026-11-03, São Paulo 2026-11-06 and Mexico City 2026-11-10, and the event page says nothing about a model launch. As for GPT-6.1 Astra, we found no release or cancellation notice from OpenAI on its official pages; CNBC reported on 2026-09-28 that the company decided not to release it, and /gpt-6-1-astra-cancelled carries the reporting.
⚠️ Community rumors (@leo114119, cellcog.ai and others, since 2026-11-01), not confirmed by OpenAI
Every line below names its source, and none of it is confirmed by OpenAI. 1. gpt-6.2-astra in usage breakdowns: @leo114119 posted it at 07:37 UTC on 2026-11-01, and @Mr_Salio said the same day at 10:30 UTC that the API response breakdown carried the string; cellcog.ai (2026-11-01) writes that OpenAI has not announced it and that it is not in the API. 2. Whether it can be called: @EthanAgentLab (2026-11-02) says the command line loaded it, in a post that also states OpenAI has announced nothing; @AGTPinsights (2026-11-01) reads it as a wider sample rollout. 3. Bel and gpt-6.2-betelgeuse: aiidelist.com (updated 2026-11-01) keeps it as an unconfirmed model rumor, and cellcog.ai records @Policifyai's post of 2026-10-30 about the ID appearing in an internal tracker - no screenshot of that tracker has surfaced. 4. Dates and odds: @vikktorrrre (2026-11-01) predicts it this week; the personal countdown site waifuai.github.io places GPT-6.2 Sol on 2026-11-10, estimates updated 2026-11-01, and the site itself calls these forecasts rather than announcements; the Polymarket figure only reaches us through cellcog.ai's account of 2026-11-01 (about 37% for the week of 2026-11-02), and the market page would not load for us, so we could not check it. 5. The claim that the withdrawn 6.1 was renamed 6.2 comes from 36kr's English desk, eu.36kr.com (2026-11-02); it contradicts the released GPT-6.1 Sol (2026-09-29) and GPT-6.1 Terra (2026-10-26), and OpenAI has never linked 6.1 to 6.2. Once OpenAI publishes, this page is updated.
Pages that exist vs names that only circulate
Has its own official model page
gpt-6-astra, gpt-6-sol, gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6.1-terra: each has a model page, and the changelog covers their release.
Names circulating in the community
gpt-6.2-astra and gpt-6.2-betelgeuse (Bel): on the official side there is no release note at all; what circulates are usage screenshots, command-line claims and a second-hand tracker entry.
What to do now
1. Do not put gpt-6.2-astra into production routing: it appears in neither OpenAI's model docs nor its changelog, and its docs path returned 404 on 2026-11-02. 2. Two official places are enough to watch: the OpenAI API changelog and the model docs; once OpenAI publishes, this page follows the official date and the official ID. 3. To use generation 6 today: the official model docs list gpt-6-astra, gpt-6.1-sol, gpt-6.1-terra and others, and in Codex you change model in ~/.codex/config.toml - the Codex page on docs.qcode.cc shows model = "gpt-6.1-sol" as its example.
On QCode
If you want GPT-6.x before 6.2 ships: as of 2026-11-02 QCode's /models lists gpt-6-astra, gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6.1-terra among others, billed per token with unit prices on /models; GPT-6.2 is not on /models yet, and new listings follow /models.
Frequently asked questions
When does GPT-6.2 actually come out?
As of 2026-11-02 OpenAI has not released GPT-6.2 and has not published any release date. The dates circulating are community forecasts or second-hand accounts - the personal site waifuai.github.io and @vikktorrrre both date from 2026-11-01 - and OpenAI has confirmed none of them.
What is this gpt-6.2-astra string?
It appears in neither OpenAI's model docs nor its changelog. Since 2026-11-01 users have reported seeing the line in Codex usage breakdowns while the picker still showed GPT-6 Astra, and OpenAI has not confirmed it; which accounts were included and whether the command line runs it is on /gpt-6-2-astra-codex.
Which model did OpenAI release most recently?
For general development work the newest is GPT-6.1 Terra (gpt-6.1-terra) on 2026-10-26. The later changelog entry, 2026-10-30, is gpt-6-rosalind, a life-sciences model released through a trusted-access program.
Will the November DevDay Exchange launch GPT-6.2?
OpenAI has not said it will release a new model there. The event page lists London 2026-11-03, São Paulo 2026-11-06 and Mexico City 2026-11-10, described as technical sessions and hands-on work with OpenAI product and engineering teams.
Where do the release dates circulating online come from?
None of them is an OpenAI announcement. The personal countdown site waifuai.github.io places GPT-6.2 Sol on 2026-11-10, estimates updated 2026-11-01, and the site labels them forecasts rather than announcements; @vikktorrrre said on 2026-11-01 that it lands this week; the Polymarket odds reach us only through cellcog.ai's summary of 2026-11-01, about 37% for the week of 2026-11-02, and the market page would not load for us, so we could not check it.
Is GPT-6.1 Astra the same thing as 6.2?
No official statement links the two. CNBC reported on 2026-09-28 that OpenAI decided not to release GPT-6.1 Astra, citing its safety standards; the rename-to-6.2 story comes from 36kr's English desk (eu.36kr.com, 2026-11-02) and is not confirmed by OpenAI, while GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6.1 Terra were both released. /gpt-6-1-astra-cancelled carries the reporting.
