The Astra model has shifted from internal testing to a select group of partners under the codename "ultima-alpha." OpenAI plans to expand the early access program next week if feedback remains positive, targeting a wider launch from September 3 through the end of the following week.
Leaked outputs from a checkpoint called "mozaik-alpha-fdm" have circulated on Discord, which some observers describe as a step-forward improvement. OpenAI targets a simultaneous launch for an update to GPT-Image 2 alongside Astra, which follows a projected release of Fable 5.1.
