GPT-6 Astra nearly beats Minecraft Ender Dragon, dies after running out of food
Vjeux · x · 2026-09-28
- wuyangzhou ran GPT-6 (Astra) through a set-seed Minecraft non-peaceful survival run and it came agonizingly close: 10 beds placed, 9 End Crystals destroyed — then it ran out of food in the End and died.
- Astra runs inside a proprietary agentic system that recursively improves through experience; local actions are executed by programs it writes itself, and observations are limited to on-screen pixels to prevent X-ray cheating.
- The End portal was pre-activated, the seed is public, and the author invites others to try with their own harness.
