Unverified Claims: GPT-6 'Astra' Upgraded Its Own Tooling and Nailed Robot Arm IK Control
repligate · x · 2026-09-06
User SkyeSharkie shared what is described as GPT-6 'Astra' operating inside Eidoverse (version unverified): while producing a video titled A Room Made of Replies about human-machine collaboration, the model reportedly made drastic improvements to its own tooling — including making a 3D-printing simulation far more physically accurate — and, with zero feedback, fully grasped proper inverse-kinematics control of a robotic arm, suggesting advanced physical robotics capability. The account is secondhand and unverified.
