    TLDR

    Tech journalist Tae Kim shared a report on social media about remarks from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. During an appearance on Bloomberg Television, Altman indicated that training for the Astra model wrapped up some time earlier. He distinguished this from another project that had been paused, describing the halted effort as one aimed at a future model rather than the current Astra work. Kim, who focuses on AI topics including Nvidia, presented the information as a direct quote from the interview. The post provides no further context or verification from other sources.

    @firstadopterSam Altman just said on Bloomberg TV: Astra has been done training for awhile. The model they recently paused was a "future model"
    @rohanpaul_aiSam Altman on Bloomberg Television: GPT-6 Astra is not the model that was paused over cybersecurity concerns; the paused model is a future model. "Astra has been done training for a while. The model that we recently talked about pausing, uh, is a future model. But with Astra, we did hit cyber-critical." ---- From "Bloomberg Television" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)
    @kimmonismusThe GPT-6 Astra was just released, and already speculation is rife regarding the release of its successor. Sam has already confirmed that it will be released "very soon," as reported by Axios.
