New model IDs `openai/gpt-6-astra` and `openai/gpt-6-astra-pro` appeared in OpenRouter's API, and GPT-6-Astra was added to Amazon Bedrock in an OpenAI Codex release.

openai's codex release notes mention gpt-6-astra on amazon bedrock. interesting to see it show up in openrouter's api at the same time.
