Users Report GPT-6.2 Astra Entries in Codex Usage Logs

The discrepancy between logged model identifiers and the selector UI suggests OpenAI may be quietly testing a variant of GPT-6 Astra in production traffic, a pattern that matters most to developers auditing their own usage and cost attribution. The absence of the model from the API and the lack of an official statement mean the routing split cannot yet be verified beyond user screenshots, and conflicting reports leave open whether this is a limited experiment or a logging artifact. Whether OpenAI clarifies the naming or the routing persists is the open question for anyone building on Codex.
