Every's GPT-6 Astra Hands-On: Best Writing Model Yet, Computer Use Runs for Hours
every · x · 2026-09-04
Every's team published a hands-on 'vibe check' of GPT-6 Astra:
- Writing: the best writing model they've tried — fast, low slop, easy to steer, and it one-shotted the first draft of its own vibe check.
- Computer use: wild — it can run for hours using complicated apps, and did the first cut of their Fable 5.1 vibe check video.
Overall: a big upgrade over 5.6-Sol, though frustrating habits keep it from matching Fable at the top end.
