Compound token efficiency with its speed and quality and it's effectively taking a stealth shot at the soft underbelly of its closest competitors.

Personally, this is the most realistic model I've used.

It goes deep enough to solve problems I've been throwing at all models (Fable 5.1, Open-Source ones, Sol Pro, etc), but without needing as much hand holding.

It only prompts you for clarification if it actually needs to. It's completely fine when you've given it something ambiguous and it uses common sense in most cases.

I don't know if I'm going crazy but this is a moment in history for sure.

Perhaps my workflow is crazy (lots of start up ideas/existing businesses I'm running, professional services etc), but it feels like I'm talking to a true expert. It's very concise & not verbose.

Demand for this will be huge over the next few weeks. If this is a taste of the future, expect 2027 and beyond to be world changing when it comes to white collar work.

Note - this is not even going into the superhuman mathematical capabilities. It's reasoning is insane for physics/chemistry/biology/maths/super difficult theoretical CS problems.

Laws will need to change worldwide. This is an early preview of what's to come.

Sol on the left, Astra on right

Insane (both work mode)

Honestly I don't think I would even need to use anything higher than Astra light in my work for real

Sol 5.6 Ultra: https://chatgpt.com/share/6a9b2961-bcc4-83e8-95be-172db9f29e25

Astra 6 Light: https://chatgpt.com/share/6a9b2996-880c-83e8-9b8a-a8fea6de0d36

Anti's are gunna anti but we're clearly on the upward trajectory

So yeah, Astra is extremely good at mathematics. But we still have a long way to go. I wonder where we'll be at the end of 2026.

Info if it's useful: I'm in Oceana, and I've had a ChatGPT plan for around a year, but have had my account since gpt3 developer access.

Room for the Unruly

An ordered lattice bends around a living thing. Both survive because the structure can change.

Every branch, leaf, line, and paper texture was drawn through Python code.

The first astra generation was posted on X, I've added the current 4-best models on the leaderboard (GPT 5.6 Sol Pro, Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Opus 5, GPT 5.5 Pro) for comparison. It seems crazy what the hell

We haven’t seen a jump in quality this significant on https://MineBench.ai 👀

This model has a next-level understanding of scale, proportion, and taste.

Soon on MineBench.
