patience_cave · x · 2026-09-14
More MazeBench details on GPT-6 Astra: with code execution it clears every introductory level easily, rarely thinking more than 5 minutes per attempt. Without tools, it averaged 9 minutes of planning per call, sometimes over 20.
Its world-model approach delivers roughly a 60% gain at 50% less cost, though spatial reasoning still struggles in longer tunnels.
