GPT-6 Astra in Practice: Tests, Use Cases, and Feedback

Someone claimed Astra decompiled a 5MB binary from an old game in half a day, but this user says three maxed-out ChatGPT Plus accounts only reached 1% progress and suspects it is fake or a recreation rather than a decompilation.

At DevDay 2026, OpenAI introduced dots, an agent built on GPT-6 Astra that connects to over 4,000 apps to handle tasks automatically; users say it is worth the $100 monthly fee, while others raise concerns about liability and transparency.

The user complains that other OpenAI products struggle but praises Astra, so they gave their Grok Bot an OpenAI API key and told it to call Astra for hard intellectual or high-stakes tasks.

The author lays out a seven-step process: dictate with voice input, install the ChatGPT Chrome plugin, dump tasks into Codex, connect Notion MCP, and run three parallel agent workspaces.

Using the same skill in Codex with GPT-6 Astra on extra-high, the author spent 32 minutes and about 230k tokens to produce a 2-minute-31-second ink-wash animation with full narration and original music.

The author expects Astra 6.1 may launch next week but is unconvinced, saying it would need to be twice as cheap as Astra 6, offer eight times the quota, be three times faster and make a leap in capability to challenge Anthropic.

X user VraserX says GPT-6.1 Astra arrives next week and that OpenAI is about to take back the crown, a teaser with no supporting evidence.

The author posted a GPT-6 Astra prompt alongside a video demo, with the post body containing only the title and an arrow, so the details require opening the link.

The author argues OpenAI halved Codex limits and shipped non-essential products like Spaces and Maps, while models such as GPT-6 Astra lag behind Anthropic's equivalents.

A short post expressing hope that OpenAI releases GPT-6.1 Astra soon so there is a model that can beat Opus 5.5 head-on.

Alex Finn lists models released or expected within a month, calling ChatGPT 6 Astra the first model that could be considered AGI.

A user removed OpenAI's dot feature, complaining that Astra ignores instructions, has no taste and has weak memory, and says Grok Bot is a better product.
