Developer @0x50484244 shows off "Astra", a custom gigabit network switch PCB with 5 Ethernet ports, a Microchip KSZ9567 switch chip, and an OpenAI logo. After the hardware drew heat in an OpenAI Instagram Reels comment section, the author posted exclusive photos on X, including an assembled board and the bare unpopulated PCB with breakaway tab design. The exact purpose and provenance of the board aren't explained in the post.
