@Angaisb gave GPT-6 (Astra Ultra) one goal: build a rocket ship in The Universim. After 7 hours 50 minutes, 6.1M tokens and $367.40, it succeeded.
- The agent controlled the game through a CLI it built itself plus Computer Use, with subagents handling threats, CLI usage and industry.
- Despite slow inference, it learned to pause the game, plan its next moves, then execute.
- Fun details: it named the first children Apollo and Nova; accidentally killed the Mayor with lightning while trying to scare her; used its CLI speed to constantly shuttle workers between factories instead of growing the population; and repeatedly paid 400 Creator Points to turn winter into spring rather than preparing the settlement for winter.
