assuming Astra 6.2 is real, i can see two possible scenarios: 1) this is a bigger and more capable model than Astra which is possibly the rumored "Bel" openai previously chose not to release 2) it's a model from the astra/sol/terra/luna lineup but oai is using a temporary internal name to avoid leaks i don't think they'd release another mid-tier model either

Asseto 🤝 NUVA We’re excited to partner with @NUVAFinance to connect its onchain-RWA vaults to partners and platforms across Asia-Pacific, with @flowmark_xyz joining as curator for the DeFi strategies built on top. NUVA is a chain-agnostic, curated marketplace for institutional real-world assets onchain, co-incubated by @animocabrands and @NUVALabs. NUVA vaults hold tokenized RWAs originated by leading institutions, including Nasdaq-listed @Figure (Nasdaq: FIGR). They span assets from YLDS, the first SEC-registered yield-bearing stablecoin, to US residential loans such as home equity lines of credit. Users deposit stablecoins and receive liquid, composable vault tokens that can be traded and used as collateral across DeFi, with proof of reserves onchain. NUVA’s flagship vault, HOME, is the first ever permissionless DeFi vault that directly holds a portfolio of US mortgage loans. It is managed by an SEC-registered investment adviser and features a monthly policy rate supported by a targeted 5% first-loss buffer. Through this partnership, we will connect NUVA with our Asia-Pacific partner network, including licensed intermediaries, exchanges and wallets, to support integrations of NUVA products. Selected products tokenized through Asseto will become available on the NUVA marketplace, subject to NUVA's listing review and applicable eligibility requirements, while Flowmark will curate yield strategies built on NUVA vault tokens and assess their onboarding as collateral in lending markets supplied by Flowmark-curated vaults. Together, we will also explore co-structured vaults built around Asian institutional assets. Asian assets onto global vault rails, and global vault tokens into the Asian ecosystem.
