GPT-6 built a rocket in-game after 6.1M tokens and $367 in compute

The author gave GPT-6 Astra Ultra a single goal: build a rocket ship in The Universim. After 7h 50m, 6.1M tokens and $367.40, it succeeded.
- The model had a CLI built beforehand by a separate thread (2 hours to build and test), then controlled the game via that CLI and Computer Use, with subagents handling threats, CLI usage and industry.
- The author didn't expect it to work given how slow Astra is, but the model was smart enough to pause the game, plan its next moves, then execute.
Clarification: the original post didn't make clear the CLI was built beforehand.
