A Reddit user argues the latest capability jump from Astra (the new GPT-6-era model) is bigger than GPT-3.5→4 and 4o→o1, yet is getting almost no online discussion. The post cites demos by Sharif Shameem, Anshu, Duncan Trussell and Matt Schumer as evidence ("All made with Astra"). This is early anecdotal impressions rather than systematic benchmarks, but a notable signal about the perceived magnitude of the new model's leap.
