Tibo, an OpenAI engineer, posted 'It's been a while without resets' and called Thursday 'codexy,' suggesting a possible banked usage reset. Users claim Astra cleared testing and Sol is in final testing, with a rumored pricing target under $2 per million tokens, but OpenAI's model catalog and changelog list no GPT-6.2 Sol release, API listing or price as of November 9. OpenAI's last frontier model release was 67 days ago, and Claude Opus 5.5 launched September 22 and leads benchmarks. ## Content An OpenAI engineer has hinted that something is coming Thursday, and people are reading it as a new model launch in Codex. OpenAI hasn't confirmed anything. ## The hint Tibo (@thsottiaux), an OpenAI engineer, posted: "It's been a while without resets. Maybe I should come back out of the basement." The post has about 644K views, 8.5K likes and 1.6K replies. Earlier in the same thread he wrote: "Thursday is feeling codexy to me. Perhaps also a good time for a banked reset." A banked reset is a reset of usage limits that users can save up. The Thursday timing is what has people guessing about a launch. ## What people expect Users are naming GPT-6.2 Astra and GPT-6.2 Sol as the likely releases. One account says the big ship, GPT-6.2, arrives Thursday and lists a crowded week: another Gemini release today, Fable 5.2 yesterday, Astra on Thursday, and Qwen4. Another says there's a very good chance Astra lands Thursday. Reports say Astra cleared its testing phase after earlier issues, and Sol is in final testing. Some users who claim to have tried Sol say it's very strong on math and logic but weaker on taste and frontend design. A rumored Sol pricing target is under $2 per million tokens, also unconfirmed. As of November 9, OpenAI's model catalog and changelog list no GPT-6.2 Sol release, no API listing and no price. ## Why the timing matters - OpenAI's last frontier model release was 67 days ago, just over two months. - One tracker says a miss this week would be the longest gap since GPT-5 to 5.1. - Rival Claude Opus 5.5 launched September 22 and leads benchmarks. ## Elsewhere in the news The Nov 6 daily AI brief from @testingcatalog (composed with Grok, with the news picked and edited by hand) listed Sol and Astra as "today?" and put Claude Fable 5.5 and Gemini 4 Carbon and Hydrogen (Flash) as "soon." It also covered: - **OpenAI:** GPT-6 Cyber launched for authorized security research on Daybreak Red, with a livestream on Nov 12. Cat Wu is joining OpenAI to lead product management for Core Products after leaving Anthropic. - **Google:** Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash is generally available on AI Studio and the Gemini API, with 15-second video and 30% lower pricing. - **Anthropic:** Claude Personal Finance is rolling out in beta to US Pro, Max and Ultra users, with read-only bank connections via Plaid. METR says Anthropic's model progress has accelerated about 1.9x since October 2025, citing internal Model 3 and Model 4. - **Thinking Machines:** Inkling 2 Small is on Tinker, scoring 31 on the AA Intelligence Index, with open weights planned next week. - **Perplexity:** Teammates are rolling out to Max subscribers on the web as proactive agents using Computer tasks, skills, memory and tools. - **Meta:** Muse Voice and expressive avatars are rolling out to US users, and Muse launched in Mexico. - **Cursor:** It can now build live apps with hosting, auth and a shareable link on paid plans with cloud agents. - **Grok Bot:** It's testing SMS texting, with WhatsApp and Telegram integrations in early preview (via alexmichael). - **Cognition:** Devin Review 2.0 is up to 5x cheaper and 1.5x faster for PR reviews. For now the Thursday talk is a hint, not an announcement. That's the day to watch. ## Questions this post answers ### What is GPT-6.2 Sol and when is it releasing? GPT-6.2 Sol is an unreleased OpenAI model reported to be in final testing, with some testers describing it as very strong on math and logic but weaker on taste and frontend design. A rumored price target is under $2 per million tokens. As of November 9, OpenAI's model catalog and changelog listed no release, API entry, or price for it. _Developers weighing which model to build against can track confirmed pricing and releases on daily.dev before committing._ ### How long had it been since OpenAI's last frontier model release before the GPT-6.2 rumors started? 67 days, just over two months, had passed since OpenAI's last frontier model release. One tracker noted that missing a release that week would mark the longest gap since the move from GPT-5 to GPT-5.1, which is part of why an OpenAI engineer's cryptic Thursday hint drew so much attention. _Anyone timing a migration around the next frontier model can follow release cadence patterns on daily.dev._ ### How does Claude Opus 5.5 compare to OpenAI's upcoming models in benchmarks? Claude Opus 5.5, which launched September 22, currently leads benchmarks ahead of OpenAI's rumored GPT-6.2 Astra and Sol models, neither of which had been officially released as of the report. This benchmark lead is part of the competitive pressure driving speculation about an imminent OpenAI release. _Teams picking a model provider can compare benchmark standings on daily.dev before locking in an integration._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [GPT-6 Astra Is Here.
