Experiments Show Existing Public LLMs Can Recreate Project Astra Results

Dan Shipper conducted an experiment demonstrating that current publicly available models (like GPT-5.6) can roughly recreate most of the results previously shown by Google's Project Astra.
The key takeaway is that the 'capability overhang' of existing models is only getting bigger, meaning many advanced demos are already achievable with public tools.
