GPT-6 Astra review: stunning at 3D games and computer use, but ignores AI skills
petergyang · x · 2026-09-10
Peter Yang's hands-on review after using GPT-6 Astra as his default model (Jensen Huang calls it "AGI has arrived"): it's incredible at building 3D games via Blender + Godot, high-level strategy, and computer/browser use — all on the $20/month plan. But two flaws keep it from being his daily driver: it often explains how it would do a task instead of just doing it, and it unreliably follows instructions in his AI skills even after cleanup, so he sticks with Sol for execution. He also shares a favorite model-testing prompt: ask for brutally honest feedback on your blind spots.
