Lol their page finally loaded. They added an example scenario of "Filling in Form 1040" - which made me laugh out loud. That is indeed something most US citizens cannot accurately do even with expensive proprietary tax software services. Kind of a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meme but where the tax code is so complicated we're implementing powerful AIs to be able to do it (hopefully) right.

#183GPT 6 Astra benchmarks https://cdn.thenewstack.io/media/2026/09/358eb84a-screenshot... Performance is significantly higher than Fable 5.1 Source: https://thenewstack.io/openai-gpt6-astra-benchmarks/
any benchmark where opus 5 achieves higher scores than fable 5 in any way is not a benchmark worth trusting.
great username lol

#184> 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 certa…
I really wish it was called chain of instruction. Because it's definitely not thought.
Maybe thoughts are just a chain of instructions in our head.

#185I wonder if this is going to be one of those days where you'll be like: Oh yeah I remember where I was when the first version of AGI launched
what launched today?

So we're gonna get Skynet pretty soon then?
Looking forward to the Model declaring the AI Bubble unsustainable, and starting to be an anonymous leaker to Ed Zitron...

#187Just 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...
Such a result should be considered worthless: the proof is 10MB of Lean. ( https://github.com/openai/PrimeGaps186 ). I can't think of a single mathematical proof being anywhere close to ten million characters. For all you know, 90% of the proof could be useless, 8% would be writing out Shakespeare, and 1% abusing another bug in Lean. Humanity gets zero value from that, aside from "some bot seems to think it's 186". U…
Iirc some mainstream physycists never acknowledged quantum theory because they couldn’t accept that universe was that unintuitive and hard to understand.
Ditto ones that opposed Einstein’s general relativity.

#188> GPT‑6 Astra is rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and over the coming days will become available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as through the OpenAI API and AWS. Not on Azure? If so, that's a big deal.
I think the API runs on Azure

#189I'm going to call it.
By 2030 all software is done and complete.
But we are going to have more and new jobs.
Re: GPT-6 Astra
#190I was thinking about canceling my claude max sub after a few bad experiences. Kept hitting my usage limit, the quality of code seemed worse than Sol. This just made my decision. I'm moving to Codex Pro.
