no doubt GPT-6 Astra is a big breakthrough model for scientific research especially considering how much cheaper it is uses 22x fewer input tokens than sonnet 5.5 and 5x fewer than opus 5.5 -- while even 6.1 sol beats both at nearly 1/10th of sonnet's cost i think scientific research is starting to scale with compute
