Every new model should audit the exhaust from the last one: repeated prompts, manual glue, failed handoffs, and workflows that worked. Your session history is the training set for a better personal agent harness.
we got GPT-6 Astra, here are the first 3 things to run with it
GPT-6 Astra scored 32% higher than Fable 5.1, so its officially the best model out there
here are the 3 most important things you can do right away:
1. review how you work
give Astra your session and project history across Claude, Codex, Hermes and any other agent you use
ask it to find:
> prompts you repeat across sessions
> manual steps that should become scripts or integrations
> repeatable workflows that should become skills
> corrections that belong in project instructions
> scheduled work that should become cron jobs
> files or steps where sessions repeatedly stop
2. audit your second brain
let it inspect how knowledge enters, gets structured, becomes searchable and gets used by your agents
have it review:
> folder structure and data schemas
> duplicate or conflicting knowledge
> retrieval gaps
> cron jobs and ingestion workflows
> how sessions and research get saved
> files and data that you and your agents never use
3. review your evergreen projects
send it your most important projects, especially the ones earlier models could not get working properly
have Astra inspect the project files, run the existing tests, trace failed workflows and write a prioritized plan with the files to change and the checks each change must pass
write every approved improvement back into the project, skill library or company brain
use Astra for planning and review, then hand the defined execution plan to cheaper models

Grok hit its usage limit just as GPT-6 Astra arrived. Perfect timing: the old king ran out of tokens, and the new one walked in. AI model season never sleeps.
