GPT-6 Astra review: stunning at 3D games and computer use, still not a daily driver
petergyang · x · 2026-09-12
Peter Yang's long-form review of OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra finds it 'both incredible and frustrating' (Jensen Huang claims 'AGI has arrived'). Highlights: it shines at games and 3D models — chaining Blender and Godot MCP to produce playable Star Fox/StarCraft-style demos (a 24-min tutorial; doable on the $20/mo plan in 4 steps: install Blender+Godot MCP, discuss the idea, mock up with ChatGPT Images, generate) — plus strong high-level reasoning and computer use. Two drawbacks keep it from being his daily driver (details paywalled).
