Astra
Disambiguating Google's documented Project Astra from unconfirmed Astra-related model identifiers.
Google DeepMind's official Project Astra page describes a research prototype exploring capabilities for a universal AI assistant. That is a first-party source for Google's project; it does not establish an OpenAI product named Astra or AEON.
A shared word is not a shared product identity. Claims about model capabilities, APIs, coding or pricing need a source for the exact provider and product. Client identifiers remain signals until a first-party document supports the corresponding claim.
This confirmation applies to Google's Project Astra, not to similarly named OpenAI identifiers.
