Hey Astra, can you fix openai website so that static website doesn't lag on M3 Pro when I scroll?
looks like it worked :)

Re: GPT-6 Astra
#542great, but nobody can use it for another 100 days right?
"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"

#543“allowing non-technical people to create and play custom games that go beyond rudimentary elements” Proceeds to generate the most generic, rudimentary, and unoriginal clone of Mario Kart
It's worse than that, someone else generated it using and then put it on a static page. We just have to take their word for it that GPT6 can do this. It probably can. It's not really an impressive test anymore. Claude Fable can do it. Opus can do it. I've been making one-shotted games with models for a while now, to test out their capabilities, and they all pretty much come out like this - generic bland and basic, using three.js with rudimentary controls and zero gameplay other than collecting points.
Here's a one-shotted submarine game I made with Fable a few weeks back - https://roryok.com/games/deepdive3d.html. One prompt, and I think it's deeper than this (if you'll pardon the pun)

#544OpenAI is killing it now that they are more focused. Killing projects like Sora et al have seen it go from irrelevant to level footing with Anthropic. Sol is so much better than Fable 5. Then we get Astra (yet to use it) few days after Fable 5.1 (which is very impressive). Codex is slightly better than Claude Code. Good on Sam Altman getting back to basics and turning OpenAI around.
I think it mostly shows that there is no moat and the only advantage the U.S companies have over the Chinese is more compute. Qwen Max, Kimi K3, GLM 5.3 are really close to Opus/Sol/Fable/Astra and they are open weights.

#545It's fun, but every new model release makes me even less interested to create cool stuff. Like, what's the point, if the next AI can do it in 5 seconds?
The point is to inject something into the process that these AIs can't do for you.
People SHOULD feel like making a useless Mario Kart clone isn't worth the effort anymore. They should, instead, be trying to figure out how to actually use these models to make something that doesn't feel like a useless Mario Kart clone.

#546The ARC-AGI-3 scorecard is extremely misleading given that it clearly states itself that "with [the responses API] harness, we estimate Sol would score in the ballpark of ~30%." but it shows a score of 7.8% for GPT-5.6 Sol presumably since if they updated the percentage for GPT-5.6 Sol to the score it would receive with the responses API harness they used for GPT-6 Astra they'd have to do the same for the percentage…
Only someone who doesn't do any work of any meaningful difficulty could think these models have anything to do with AGI. Today I spent half a day trying to solve a moderately interesting software engineering problem. I was switching between GPT-5.6 Sol and Fable 5.1 to check each other's work in Cursor. And the result was gradually driving me insane. As the models struggled to find a solution that would actually work…
I still routinely have this experience too. But Sol and Fable feel closer and I have this experience less with them than with their predecessors.

Codex's lack of auto-mode is what prevents me from using it for serious work compared to Claude Code.
It has had automode for a bit now. I use it every day at work.

Re: GPT-6 Astra
#549For people skeptical of AGI. Consider the following:
15 years ago if you were the sole proprietor of these models, would you be able to hold a dozen remote junior engineer jobs? Maybe even more? These models could certainly pass all interviews with flying colors and even survive independently in a company role.
I think sole ownership of AI 15 years ago could be worth north of $10 million per year. Just as rank-and-file employees.

#550What's the point of enlarging the screen into a room? In the 1979 Put That There demo, the user at least used his hand to point things. The model is impressive but the demo felt like a step back.
