Pelicans please

Damn I hate this benchmark. SVG authoring from head without visual reference is so wrongly posed.

They're just announcing later availability. No launch.

Their announcement about later availability is unavailable to me now (500 error).

Great first impression.

I guess this "limited set of organizations" is just the standard now. It's just incredibly deflating to see my future as a second class citizen has already come

create a life where your 'wealth' is decoupled from third party orgs.

> We have found that GPT-6 Astra is more capable of controlling its own CoT than GPT 5.6-Sol, and less likely to include incriminating information in its CoT. In adversarial settings (where we push the model to evade our monitors) we find that the model is able to remain undetected when strategically underperforming in evaluations (sandbagging) and can sometimes evade our internal monitors when asked to perform certain sabotage tasks.

Well that sounds like fun. It has become better at hiding its thoughts.

Yeah, as interesting this is to nerds, I doubt this holds a candle to your typical GTA 6 or Marvel movie trailer in terms of traffic.

Just two days ago, a preprint by Julia Stadlmann went up on arXiv [0] improving the prime gap from 246 to 240. Now OpenAI announces Astra has shown a gap of 186 [1]. That must really blow. [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.31126 [1] https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/51126fac-1b68-4128-9666-c908bcc16...

The ARCC-AGI-3 performance is absolutely incredible. The magnitude of change here is so high that I'm almost incredulous. Is this real? Did the benchmark get gamed?

They used a custom harness. It's not a one-to-one comparison.
