Astra reportedly much better at musical reasoning and geometry, anecdotally

The author observes Astra is now 'pretty good' at musical reasoning and geometry, anecdotally. His underlying framework: anything programmatically generatable and verifiable — SVG, vector rendering, geometric/geographic reasoning — is something models handle OK but not great, likely solvable in pre-training or with synthetic data; auto-generated figures work but remain aesthetically weak.
