People watching GPT-6 Astra demos on X may not realise how slow it actually is in real time. Here’s a rollout of GPT-6 Astra controlling the MolmoAct2 YAMs to complete this task in real-time. There is potential, but i don’t think it’s practical for real-world robotics deployment yet. I applaud your patience if you make it through the whole video.
