Unverified buzz around a rumored OpenAI GPT-6 'Astra' release. Builder McKay Wrigley (Takeoff AI, AgentShare) calls it a genuine step change on par with GPT-4: 'the model can do categorically new work,' with the best demos since GPT-4. Commenters frame it as an autonomous agent capable of account research, operating software, and multi-step sales motions without a human handler. Note: practitioner hype, not an official announcement.
