New names in cloud configurationA screenshot posted by TestingCatalog on November 4 shows GPT-6.2 Astra and GPT-6.2 Sol in the Google Cloud Console quotas page. Quotas govern available cloud resources. The names currently appear in configuration; release timing, capabilities and pricing have not been announced.

An earlier usage identifierAn earlier TestingCatalog report documented gpt-6.2-astra in some Codex users’ October 31 usage breakdowns, while their model selector continued to display GPT-6 Astra. The publication suggested limited testing or a staged rollout as possible explanations. OpenAI has not explained the routing arrangement.

An established enterprise channelGoogle Cloud’s October 21 official announcement introduced private previews of GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Luna for selected enterprise customers, with Codex workflows connecting to its platform. The new quota names appear within that existing partnership, while the scope of a GPT-6.2 release remains unannounced.
