Astra hailed as a watershed model, reportedly passing OpenAI's internal AI-research intern benchmark

Commenter haider1 argues Astra is the first model where "this isn't just a better ChatGPT anymore," citing three claims: reportedly 10 research-level math/CS advances, hitting OpenAI's internal AI research intern benchmark, and being the team's most aligned model to date.
He notes the earlier Mythos model seemed headed in this direction, but Astra might make the shift obvious to everyone. These are personal claims and unverified rumors pending real-world testing.
