One signal

OpenAI is prioritising service for existing customers while it works to keep up with what Tibo Sottiaux calls “unprecedented” demand for Astra, according to a post from Sam Altman’s X account.

Why it matters

It is a useful operational signal, but not a usage report: the post gives no figures, affected products or timetable for catching up. For anyone trying to use Astra now, expect capacity and access to remain the practical question.

Discuss: If access is tight, should OpenAI publish clearer capacity and rollout updates for Astra users?
