kaiwynd tasked GPT-6 Astra with plugging in an ethernet cable. The model succeeded after 2 hours and 4 human prompt interventions.
Assessment: completing a tight-tolerance task involving deformable objects is impressive, but speed remains the big problem for agentic robotic systems — deep reasoning via 3D programs is integral to this pipeline, and it's not obvious how that can be distilled or accelerated to VLA-level speed.
