GPT-6 Astra rebuilds Cessna 337 landing gear from a YouTube video; Fable 5.1 falls short
FinanceYF5 · x · 2026-09-11
GPT-6 Astra accomplished a mechanical reconstruction other models kept failing: the landing gear of a Cessna 337 Skymaster. Given only a YouTube video, it understood and rebuilt the entire retract mechanism. A control test — without the video, Astra always generated conventional landing gear — confirmed the result came from video comprehension rather than prior knowledge. Fable 5.1 came close but never got the spring-strut right across repeated attempts.
