You can use Astra from within the CC cli if you insist, but really you're missing out by not using the Codex desktop app. It gives Astra superpowers (computer use, sub-agent management, voice, non-blocking context gathering questions,...)

If Astra needs 1.2T active params, OpenAI is inept and AGI is a psyop, because all these models can't even help you implement basic research papers. We're all dying of cancer. It's over. I'd say <350B active, >150T tokens, and >50% of the compute spend was...

Gave Astra a 3D scan of my parents old home to make it an editable scene. Then I turned down gravity and opened a portal. Turns out multimodal LLMs might have crossed the chasm on inverse graphics. Tremendous implications for everything from VFX and AR/VR...

Prediction: there will be at least one very large company failure because of shared AI psychosis of its personnel listening and trusting their models a little bit too much.

An important essay on the state of AI and the choices and challenges ahead: for OpenAI, the field, and the world. we're in the AGI era, and need to approach the next few years with seriousness, thoughtful deliberation, and navigating the collective...

GPT 6 Astra is estimated to have ~1.2T Active Parameters and ~10T Total Parameters. Reports indicate pre-training for GPT-5.5 (codename Spud) concluded on March 24 at the Abilene campus. Astra's pretraining run (Doug) would have taken over that cluster...

Hopefully the fact that OpenAI is spending $220k - $2.5M+ per year *per researcher* on frontier tokens (and this has inflected upwards in recent months) should kill any remaining cope that businesses will "just use cheaper Chinese open source models"

Fun fact: RLSlow was named after Thinking, Fast and Slow. The idea was that language models already had a kind of "fast" thinking, producing an answer immediately, and that we could use RL to teach them "slow" thinking: deliberate, multi-token reasoning...

I see takes like oh, I don’t like Astra because when I say X I want it to do Y You can ask Astra to put a line in your agents.md file and it will just do what you want it to. People don’t understand how personalizable this model is

Amazing! Fable 5.2 launches shortly Followed by Gemini 4.0 and hopefully Bel from OpenAI The party doesn’t stop 💃

It is less than a decade since the development of the transformer. Less than four years since the release of GPT-3.5 (ChatGPT). Less than two years since the release of o1-preview (the first Reasoner).

One of my favorite features of Codex/ChatGPT is not even documented in the main docs, I discovered it on Reddit. So basically we have a GPU slurm cluster that we SSH into, and I wanted to be able to run Codex on it from my phone. ChatGPT Desktop supports...

In asked GPT-6 Astra in Codex to build RuneScape and deploy it to a ChatGPT Site. You can check out the game here (it is multiplayer, so I'll see you in there!): The most impressive part may be that the demo video below is an Astra one-shot. My prompt: "I...

We made a big push on decreasing hallucination & making Astra much more trustworthy! (Nit: to interpret those benchmarks you really need to control for the amount of claims the model make, which neither of those plots show.)

We’ve made some improvements that improve usage on the long tail for power users of Astra when logged in with your ChatGPT account. No change in quality and a pure win that on the long tail can result in up to 3-4X less usage being drawn from the subscription.

I have to say I would have been reasonably impressed by GPT-6 Astra if it was released as "GPT-6 Sol", with pricing/size calibrated accordingly but I'm struggling to imagine how GPT-6 Sol could be noticeably weaker than this AND still be better than...

To calibrate you all on which reasoning effort to use for Astra, know that GPT-6 Astra on low performs better than GPT-5.6 Sol on high. If you were using high reasoning efforts with Sol and were happy, I suggest you move down to low or medium for Astra.
