mreflow, with early access to OpenAI's Astra, calls it "the biggest leap we've seen in a long time," citing hands-on tests:
- Asked for a humanoid wolf in Blender, Astra used computer use to take control and built it in 8 minutes.
- It cloned Mega Bonk in 12 minutes with Ultra mode, producing one of the most visually appealing versions yet.
- Asked to "build a website that would impress me," it created a world simulator in 17 minutes — terraforming, weather, planting trees — with estimated population impacts.
He notes the speed may partly reflect lower load, but was genuinely impressed by the output quality.
