(Posting partly so I can revisit my predictions when they open access more widely) A big problem I have with OpenAI's models (and of course Claude) is that they tend to write the most over-engineered pieces of code, beyond the imagination of any architecture's astronaut. Just this week I asked 5.6-sol-ultra to update a 1000 LOC python script I had, to "incorporate the key lessons learned when using it for another pro…

Exact same thing happed to me. I gave it a small/medium-sized ticket, walked away, came back to a 25,000 LoC monstrosity that both Fable and another 5.6 Sol agent said is 98% useless and should be thrown away.

Contractors have been charging by the hour for eons. What makes you think tokens are any different for OpenAI?

I think they embargoed the news, and then they failed to put up their own blog post synchronized to the scheduled news releases, probably because of the outages they're having today. Reuters announced at 2.03pm and at 2.40pm still no blog post. All the news articles say that OpenAI announced it in a blog post, of course. All the love to the folks at OpenAI scrambling to get this out right now! Edit: HN user codergaut…

This stood out:

"Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1.1

61.2"

So on the Metacritic of LLM benchmarks, it's.. basically where everyone else is (except for Fable 5.1, which is a bit ahead).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You should have a sub agent adversarially enforce KISS before every commit.

And then another sub agent that argues for the whole system to be re-written in another language

The voices in my head argue about the direction of the project enough already

Launch blogpost was live for 2 minutes and got 404'd. Rehosted it here: https://astratest.codergautam.workers.dev/GPT-6%20Astra_%20A... Edit [12:26pt]: original blog post seems to be back! https://openai.com/index/gpt-6-astra/ edit [12:28pt]: not again... getting 500 on their page edit [12:35pt]: OpenAI page seems to work after clearing cache!

I suppose they have to appeal to average users, but the examples in the videos are always so corny. By "AGI" they mean you sitting on a couch and asking a robot to draw a rocket ship... and then make it into an uninspired game with Blender? Boring marketing campaigns? Ebay listings? One would expect something like "review my graduate thesis for a new area of cancer research", but it is always some boring non-tasks li…

I don't think it seems that appealing to the average user either. The tasks shown are either things that most people can do already with ai (powerpoint), aren't interesting to most people (the rocket sequence), or seem to be more work to dictate to Astra than do yourself (listing on ebay).

Business as usual at the world's most intelligent corporation, I see.

But "Brockman says he personally believes OpenAI has reached AGI, while leaving users to decide whether Astra meets that definition." Says it all.

I'll know we've reached AGI when they don't release an API for the model selling access for a few bucks per task. Seems like AGI would be worth more than that.

We know they'll have replaced horses when a car costs 200 horses.

At this point, why don't we just do a prequel to the release? 1) Astra will win all benchmarks like all models do. 2) The pelican will have a basket with a fish. 3) Cyber is too dangerous to release. 4) It can finally construct the set of all sets.

5) Otherwise-sober people on X will say "oh my god i was a doubter before but now it's real omg" before the new model smell wears off and they realize the new thing is stupid in ways models have been generally stupid

6) accusations of quantized serving after new model smell wears off and people see the new thing making mistakes
