What Is OpenAI Astra? A Model That Ships Math Proofs

OpenAI Astra is OpenAI's next model family and remains unreleased as of October 12, 2026, with no date or confirmed version name.

On October 6 OpenAI released 719 manuscripts in 372 families, about 42% of top-line results formalized, then withdrew three papers on October 7 after a sign error.

Lean confirms logic, not attribution or peer review; a credit dispute over the sphere-packing proof remains open.
