- OpenAI has not announced GPT-6.2. Everything on this page comes from users, leaks and prediction markets, and is labeled that way.
- Since early November, many users report being quietly routed to new Sol and Astra checkpoints in ChatGPT and Codex that they believe are GPT-6.2.
- Prediction markets put a public GPT Sol 6.2+ release at about 51% by Nov 15 and about 89% by Nov 30 (Polymarket, Nov 11).
- Early impressions focus on 3D scenes and UI generation. None of them can be verified until OpenAI ships the model.
Timeline: every signal so far

First widely shared hands-on posts from users who say they were routed to "GPT-6.2 Astra".

Developers report a GPT-6.2 Astra variant being quietly tested in Codex, sharing generated samples.

A wave of independent reports: GPT-6.1 Sol users say they were routed to a new checkpoint they believe is Sol 6.2, and "GPT 6.2 Sol max" appears in Codex gray testing.

A user claims OpenAI's Responses API docs now mention "models 6.2 and later". We searched the Responses docs and could not find the line.

What prediction markets expect
Odds from prediction markets reflect what traders are betting, not anything OpenAI has said. We update the snapshot when it moves.
Confirmed vs rumor
| Claim | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI has announced GPT-6.2 | Not true | No announcement, blog post, model card or API listing as of Nov 11, 2026. OpenAI's news feed and OpenRouter show no GPT-6.2 model. Source ↗ |
| Sol and Astra versions of GPT-6.2 are being tested with some users | Reliable leak | Many independent users in ChatGPT and Codex report new checkpoints and share outputs. The model name comes from users, not OpenAI. Source ↗ |
| It will be released by November 15 | Unconfirmed | Prediction market odds are about even (51%). Source ↗ |
| OpenAI's API docs already reference "models 6.2 and later" | Unconfirmed | Reported on X; we could not find it in the Responses API docs. Source ↗ |
| GPT-6.2 Sol beats Claude Opus 5.5 | Unconfirmed | Based on individual side-by-side posts from testers routed to an unconfirmed model, such as one coding task reported at 20 minutes and $9 vs 60 minutes and $20 on Opus 5.5. Source ↗ |
Is GPT-6.2 out?
No. As of November 11, 2026, OpenAI has not announced GPT-6.2. There is no blog post, model card, API listing or price. OpenAI’s own news feed has no mention of it, and the model is not on OpenRouter, where new OpenAI models usually appear on launch day.
What does exist is a steady stream of reports from users who believe they are already testing it. Since early November, people using ChatGPT and OpenAI’s coding tool Codex have shared outputs they say came from new checkpoints called GPT-6.2 Sol and GPT-6.2 Astra. Prediction markets read those signals as a release that is close.
This page keeps the two apart: what OpenAI has said (nothing yet) and what users report. We will switch it to a full release page, at the same address, the day OpenAI ships.
What early testers report (unverified)
Treat everything in this section as anecdote. The testers cannot prove which model they were routed to, and OpenAI has not confirmed any of it.
- 3D and UI generation comes up most. Several users posted 3D scenes, animations and browser apps built in one prompt, and describe the visual quality as a clear step up from GPT-6.1 Sol.
- Comparisons with Claude Opus 5.5 are common. One user reported a coding task finishing in about 20 minutes for $9, against 60 minutes and $20 on Opus 5.5. Single runs like this say little about overall quality.
- Fewer hedged answers. Some testers say the new checkpoint stops adding defensive caveats to answers it is confident about.
None of these reports includes a reproducible benchmark. Once the model is public, we will replace this section with independent test results, the same way we do for every released model.
Sol, Astra and the other names
OpenAI’s recent models are split into named lines rather than single releases. The current lineup includes names such as GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6.1 Terra and GPT-6 Luna, each priced and positioned differently. That is why testers talk about a “6.2 Sol” and a “6.2 Astra” as separate models. OpenAI has not said whether both, or other lines, will ship at the same time.
How to use OpenAI’s newest models today
You cannot choose GPT-6.2 in ChatGPT or the API. To use OpenAI’s current models:
- ChatGPT: the model picker shows the models available on your plan.
- OpenAI API: GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6.1 Terra are listed for developers.
- OpenRouter: OpenAI’s public models, including GPT-6.1 Terra, are available through one API key.
What we don’t know yet
- The release date, or whether Sol and Astra ship together
- Pricing, context window and rate limits
- Official benchmark results
- Whether the models users are routed to today are the final versions

FAQ
Is GPT-6.2 out?
No. As of November 11, 2026 OpenAI has not announced or released GPT-6.2. Some users report being routed to new test checkpoints, but OpenAI has not confirmed them.
What is the GPT-6.2 release date?
OpenAI has not given one. Prediction markets put a public GPT Sol 6.2+ release at about 51% by November 15 and about 89% by November 30, 2026, which is why we list late November as the expected window.
What is the difference between GPT-6.2 Sol and GPT-6.2 Astra?
OpenAI has not described either. Both names come from testers. In OpenAI's current lineup, Sol and Astra are separate model lines (for example GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Astra).
Can I use GPT-6.2 now?
Not on purpose. You cannot select it in ChatGPT or the API. You can use OpenAI's current models, such as GPT-6.1 Sol, while you wait.
