Pokémon-benchmark runner Clad3815 got early access to GPT-6 Astra: it beat the game in 18h12m (high setting), versus 96h35m for GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.5 which never finished after 218 hours. The run used screenshots only — no RAM reads, hints, or walkthroughs, fully autonomous. A fresh run will stream on the GPT Plays Pokémon Twitch channel.
