Re: GPT-6 Astra
#222Just 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...
Happened to multiple people I know.

#223I'm going to call it. By 2030 all software is done and complete. But we are going to have more and new jobs.
'all' software? aircraft flight control systems? infant heart monitors? drug manufacturing dose calibration controllers?

#224GPT 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/
> Performance is significantly higher than Fable 5.1 That's not clear. Need to see independent benchmarks first.
We need them pelicans on bikes.
Re: GPT-6 Astra
#225What does 'Astra' here mean? Surely they must be referring to the Latin word. Because in another dead language of antiquity, Sanskrit, it means "weapon". Which would be a bit too on-the-nose.
Quite clearly in the same vein as Sol, Terra, Luna.

#226Argh! I hit a wrong keyboard shortcut and moved the entire thread.
Please stand by... it will all come back shortly
Re: GPT-6 Astra
#227I want to take a step back: So, this is GPT-6 -- the natural number version release comparable to GPT-4 and GPT-5 from the past few years. The ARC-AGI-3 score is obviously impressive at 99.9% (we'll need to wait for more details on how they used the response API harness on GPT-6 Astra, wrt reasoning retention and compaction), but every other benchmarks seems to be a relatively modest improvement, comparable with any of the 'point' updates from AI labs.
If this is truly AGI (subject to one's definition of AGI still), then this is a very boring release of an AGI model. No video announcement, no presser, just a blog post (with some Twitter promo vids)?
As others mentioned, I'm starting to think OpenAI was under immense pressure to deliver an 'AGI' model for certain contractual reasons, but I never expected GPT-6 release to be this mundane and banal.
Re: GPT-6 Astra
#228I 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
Define AGI first. The singularly ain't going to happen with LLMs.
Re: GPT-6 Astra
#229Hmm, 61 on ArtificialAnalysis, effectively matching GPT-5.6 and trailing the new Meta model. How is that possible along with the other metrics they shared? Insanely jagged intelligence?
This is so so weird. Astra is 61. Grok is 61. Even Muse is 61.
Even Kimi K3 & GLM 5.3 are at 60.
Everything above 61 is Anthropic. Well, Muse can reach 62, but for some weird reason that model isn't publicly available, and it's the only one on the index that is listed but shown as not available to the general public.
This looks like an awfully artificial ceiling. Everything capped at 61, and everyone except Anthropic got the memo. Maybe I should use Fable while I still can.
Re: GPT-6 Astra
#230Why release it now instead waiting those few days until it is available for everybody?
