Astra builds a GTA-6-style NYC world and then plays in it at $0.40/min
ZhitingHu · x · 2026-09-15
EnactraAI showed off a new demo of its world model product Astra: pedestrians and traffic were added to a previously Astra-generated New York City, and the player is now controlled by Astra itself — exploring NYC on foot and by car, occasionally being a bit rude to pedestrians.
- The world is built by Astra and then played by Astra, a closed loop of "build a world, play in it."
- Running cost is about $0.40/min, and the team is polling for the next mission idea.
