Early GPT-6 (Astra) User Test: Presentation Output 'Junior-Level,' Worse Than Claude Opus 5
sikrian · reddit · 2026-09-06
A sales professional on Reddit reports a disappointing first run with GPT-6 (Astra): given a reference presentation and detailed content requirements, the model produced a deck he describes as "junior level at best," despite clear instructions and a sample.
He adds that Claude Opus 5 delivered a better presentation on the same task with only simple instructions.
A single-user negative hands-on test of the new flagship model — small sample, but a notable early capability datapoint.
