OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra touted as its most advanced model: autonomous browsing, building, tasks

A Reddit post relays claims (unverified via official channels) that OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra, its most advanced model yet. It reportedly can browse the web and do its own research, operate inside apps and software, build websites or apps, assemble documents and slides, and carry out multi-step tasks autonomously.
The post claims Astra outperforms all previous OpenAI models on reasoning, coding, and science benchmarks and can create video from anything you mention. While OpenAI stops short of calling it AGI, the author sees it as a major step toward end-to-end autonomous AI — and asks whether it's the new Sora-scale moment.
