@OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra ignores your images. That just might be its superpower. Users upload a reference image and ask for a website. Other frontier models take it literally and "mirror" the input, reusing the same colours and layout and sometimes pasting the image right in. GPT-6 Astra takes the idea and builds it in its own style. And users still pick it.
