Yacine: GPT-6 Astra is 'crazy good' at CAD, so good it's mistaken for stolen assets

Former OpenAI researcher Yacine Lajmi (yacineMTB) reacted to GPT-6 Astra's CAD output, calling it "fucking crazy good." The quoted tweet notes anti-AI commenters assumed Astra was downloading free 3D models off the internet — when in fact it simply matched the input image too precisely.
The exchange highlights two things: Astra's striking performance on precise, structured tasks like engineering drawings, and how its fidelity now triggers authenticity accusations — a new flashpoint in AI-realism debates.
