Multimodal ChatGPT 7 Rumors: Target Google Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash and Claude Opus 5
TL;DR
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, released earlier this month, brought a million-token context window and an advanced reasoning architecture aimed at tasks like legal analysis and academic research. High operating costs and missing multimodal features have raised doubts about how broadly it can be used. According to an analysis by AI Master, rumors now point to a multimodal ChatGPT 7 designed to compete with Google's Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash and Anthropic's Claude Opus 5. OpenAI has not confirmed these plans.
Nauti's Take
A multimodal successor would close GPT-6 Astra's most obvious gap and has real potential for workflows that mix documents, images and audio. The limit: all of this rests on one analyst's rumors relayed by a gadget blog, and Astra's high running costs would likely grow with multimodality.
Teams choosing a model today should compare the price per task across Gemini, Claude and GPT instead of planning around an unannounced release.
