- User @MlkeMik claims GPT 6 Astra (unverified model name) one-shotted a remake of the childhood PC game Re-Volt, then played it itself and produced a ready-to-post gameplay video.
- He had previously given up on the same task after hours with GPT-5.4 and 5.5; this time it took 20 minutes on medium effort and just 1% of his weekly Codex plan.
- The model researched the game on its own, used the image generation tool, and logged all prompts and research notes for future reference.
