Andon Labs demos GPT-6 Astra autonomously navigating a drone through its office to find and follow a specific person from a single command. The team claims it's the first AI model to beat a human on each of the 5 Drone-Bench tasks in at least one attempt. NYT's Kevin Roose quipped that it's the Autonomous Tracking Drone from the satirical sci-fi horror novel "Don't Build the Autonomous Tracking Drone".
