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

The post says Percy Liang spent 14 months building a GPT-6 Astra-powered research bot that reads 11 million papers a minute to find contradictions and propose hypotheses, and that a company paid six figures for access.

A day before DevDay, leaks point to an always-on agent called OpenAI o, Astra 6.1 and a unified ChatGPT + Work, plus a partnership with Indian cricket star Sachin Tendulkar.

The author shares a face-focused GPT-6 Astra and Tripo animation workflow and plans to tackle facial rigging and full-body rigging next.

Leaks claim OpenAI is adding a $500 high-usage tier for Astra with 1000tps, a 24/7 autonomous cloud agent, and a 50% price cut in version 6.5.

A user says the $200 GPT plan yields only around twice the usable capacity of Claude Pro even when sticking to GPT-6 Sol and Astra, and that frequent rework has them considering canceling.

The user maps Anthropic and OpenAI model tiers against each other and argues that since there is no GPT-6 Terra this time, DevDay may bring the hinted Astra Minor.

A joking request to get GPT-6 Astra 6.1 Ultra Ultrafast running on Cerebras hardware as soon as possible.

A list of what OpenAI may announce at DevDay, including an always-on assistant called "o", an ultrafast mode and a new $500 plan, plus a prediction of GPT-6.1 Astra.

The author argues Anthropic does not have the compute to support Opus 5.5 at the scale needed to absorb a wave of Astra users, which is why OpenAI is not worried, though OpenAI also faces capacity limits and usage cuts.

Someone online claims to have pulled out the full CoT reasoning trace behind GPT-6 Astra, with chat groups urging Chinese model makers to distill it, though the author says to treat it as a rumor for now.

A Japanese user lists seven DevDay guesses: a $500 plan, UltraFast access, gpt live phone handling, an agent workspace and marketplace, multi-agent coordination, and GPT-6-Cyber built on Astra.

Given the same prompt and limits, the two models each command their own bot to place blocks and build a medieval castle in Minecraft, and a video compares the results.
