User claims GPT-6 'Astra' can already control robots and fine-tuned an open model's weights

Blogger xmercuryone claims the GPT-6 model 'Astra' he uses can already handle some robotics tasks, and says he personally rotates between Astra, Opus, Fable and Grok. He cites an example of Astra modifying an open model's weights and optimizing it, calling it 'pretty cool', with the latest demo showing it controlling robots. All claims are unverified by OpenAI — treat the model name and capabilities with caution.
