OpenAI · youtube · 2026-09-22
OpenAI's official video shows Ramp engineer Veeral giving GPT-6 Astra a one-line feature request: add routing controls for individual API keys. Astra located the right settings, made the changes, used computer use to verify its own work, and proactively checked the mobile experience — about 12 minutes implementing, 15 validating. The shift, Veeral told Romain Huet: give Astra a high-level goal and review the changes it returns.
