GPT-6 Astra Robot Demos Look Great on X, But Real-Time Footage Shows Painful Slowness
DJiafei · x · 2026-09-27
A new real-time video shows what GPT-6 Astra demos on X hide: when the model actually controls MolmoAct2 YAM robot arms to complete a task in real time, the process is painfully slow — "I applaud your patience if you make it through the whole video." Verdict: promising, but not yet practical for real-world robotics deployment. A useful reminder that most viral robot demos are sped-up edits.
