- OpenAI's Noam Brown says scientific discovery is the use case he's most excited about for GPT-6 Astra, noting OpenAI hasn't pushed the model to its limits on math and science.
- He highlighted a new OpenAI repo containing a Lean formalization by GPT-6 Astra proving there are infinitely many pairs of consecutive primes whose distance is at most 186.
- Brown looks forward to seeing daily scientific breakthroughs made with the model.
