Is GPT-6 Astra just autoregressive? Domingos and researcher spar over its architecture
eliebakouch · x · 2026-09-09
After Pedro Domingos questioned what evidence suggests Astra was built with just an autoregressive model, researcher eliebakouch replied that he believes GPT-6 Astra (like every big model OpenAI has trained so far) is an autoregressive (AR) model.
The exchange highlights ongoing speculation about the architecture behind the rumored new flagship: whether it sticks to the pure autoregressive paradigm or introduces a new generation mechanism remains unsettled, with both sides offering opinions rather than evidence.
