- Early access: Ethan Mollick says GPT-6 is "stunning" and good enough to autonomously do complex, meaningful work for him for days at a time.
- Fun demo: As an example, GPT-6 built a historically grounded simulation of the Library of Alexandria.
- Open source: The project (alexandria-mouseion) is on GitHub under MIT license — a source-led, walkable 3D reconstruction of an Alexandrian district and the royal Library's scholarly setting around 250 BCE, with 14 map destinations (streets, market, quays, homes, the Mouseion), a fully narrated eight-stop tour, historical links, readable scrolls, and scenes exploring the library's decay and multiple fires.
