Early testers say Astra's spatial awareness fixes LLMs' chronic scale problem
LinusEkenstam · x · 2026-09-07
Linus Ekenstam argues GPT-6 Astra's spatial awareness is "more than just a step change," echoing results from other testers in his network.
He previously noted LLMs chronically struggle with scale—in writing (natural language and code) and in image/video/3D generation proportions. Astra, grounded in real software and real dimensions, appears to solve this. One tester paired Astra with the CAD tool Plasticity: given a concept image, the model generated its own front-view reference and produced a working 3D model—imperfect but striking. "We're early, but the opportunities are endless," he concludes.
