- User mweinbach claims (unverified) that GPT-6 Astra's press materials tout reverse-engineering software binaries to understand logic without source code at high success rates, and says he saw it use this to optimize/fix apps.
- His example: given a model compiled for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 NPU, it inspected the NPU drivers, traced the compilation process down to hardware bindings, and recovered essentially the original weights with a 99.9% match.
- No demos were provided; treat as an unconfirmed rumor.
