Nina Schick claims OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra is 'the first billion-dollar AI model,' pretrained on more than 100,000 GPUs at the Stargate data center in Abilene, Texas — and 'yes, it is good.' She doubles down on her thesis that Texas is ground zero for AGI. Note this is third-party commentary, not an official OpenAI announcement; the scale figures remain unverified.
