GPT-6 "Astra" shows zero-shot robot arm sorting; OpenAI robotics rumors swirl
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-09-07
A demo shows OpenAI's GPT-6 "Astra" zero-shot controlling a robot arm to sort irregularly shaped blocks into left/right cups on verbal instruction, completing the task in 15 minutes as part of benchmarking how well LLMs turn language into physical action. CyberRobooo notes such Astra robot-control demos keep appearing and speculates OpenAI has likely tested the model on humanoid robots and may even be building proprietary robotics models akin to Gemini Robotics (personal speculation, unconfirmed).
