Blogger calls V4.1 Flash a proto-AGI, impressed by its Python tooling and subagent pipelines

Blogger teortaxesTex shared hands-on observations of Astra (V4.1 Flash): while Canvas is an easier medium, its use of Python is remarkable — it consistently builds scientific tooling and cleverly organizes subagent pipelines. He called it a proto-AGI: "not very smart and makes mistakes, but the path to full generality is clear enough. Scale it up." A follow-up noted Astra Xhigh's even more impressive behavior on a Python file, with screenshots of Astra writing its own prompt for a Canvas 2D task.
