GPT-6 Astra rolls out to all Plus users, and APPSO benchmarks it against Fable 5.1
APPSO · wechat · 2026-09-05
GPT-6 'Astra' is now fully available to Plus and Business users. APPSO ran hands-on comparisons against Fable 5.1:
- Credit war: Anthropic reset weekly limits for Claude Max users while OpenAI gave Plus/Pro/Business users an additional rollover reset — a 'golden week' for AI users.
- Tests: turning the APPSO logo into a marble-run game (GPT-6 better at letter shapes and connections), a Chinese ghost-themed Fall Guys clone (GPT-6 plays smoother, Fable looks better but had reversed arrow keys), record-store web pages (Fable's covers more atmospheric, GPT-6 more scannable), and free-form dynamic HTML pages.
- Real work: the author's Paperweave research workspace, built with Fable 5.1 and continued by GPT-6, unified paper reading, notes and writing.
- AGI debate: Greg Brockman claims the AGI era has arrived; OpenAI highlights GPT-6's ability to preserve context when users change direction mid-task. The author is skeptical and cares more about revision success rates.
