OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made a rare disclosure about the capability tiers of the company's internal models. He revealed that beyond the model codenamed Astra, OpenAI has another internally dubbed "Post-Astra" model that can already solve "problems that the world's top mathematicians have been unable to crack." The statement immediately sent shockwaves through the mathematics community and the broader AI field.
