User tests OpenAI Astra computer use: one PPT slide took nearly 15 minutes
bookwormengr · x · 2026-09-06
A paying user shared a hands-on test of OpenAI Astra's computer-use capability: asked to "create a one-page PPT explaining the Pythagorean theorem," the model took nearly 15 minutes to produce the result.
The verdict was still positive overall — the author finds the model good, keeps paying, and plans to use it regularly — but argues this is nowhere near what AGI should feel like, mocking OpenAI employees who claim it is AGI.
The author also notes GLM-5.3 is already strong at flashy Blender videos and predicts Zhipu will push hard into CAD and Blender with GLM-5.4, given how much attention those demos attract.
