OpenAI demo shows Astra laying out a circuit board in KiCad
An official demo shows Astra placing components and routing copper in KiCad to turn a schematic into a PCB layout, and OpenAI reports 47% less time per task than GPT-5.6 Sol on OSWorld 2.0.
GPT-6 ASTRA IS NOW LAYING OUT CIRCUIT BOARDS OpenAI's demo shows Astra placing components and routing copper connections in KiCad, turning an electronic schematic into a PCB layout. The 15-second clip is condensed playback, so don't confuse the video length with the actual completion time. The speed claim comes from a separate test. In OSWorld 2.0 latency simulations, OpenAI reports 47% less time per task than GPT-5.6 Sol, while scoring 72.6% versus 65.7%. Its launch examples also cover spreadsheets, browser tasks and checking whether a website actually works. The next number I want is how much supervision these workflows still need. If you can hand over a task and review a usable result, the value extends across jobs that involve moving between apps all day. That is the test that matters once the launch demos stop playing.
