OpenAI restarted its large-scale model training program before the end of October 2026. The effort concluded without the rollout of any new consumer-oriented hardware by the October 31 deadline. In addition, the company reported no cryptanalytic breakthrough and did not issue an Astra-series model during that period.
The decision to resume training was confirmed on Sunday 1 November, indicating that work on next-generation models had been underway before 31 October. Internal timelines showed that the compute clusters were reactivated in early October.
