One of my favorite songs ever!! If it wasn’t before, it is now!! 😂 Thanks @thsottiaux

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Thanks for reading. We will do a global reset of the usage for all paid subscriptions so that you can keep enjoying Astra after burning through all of it doing fun 3D modeling in blender. The work week is about to start.

Lands around 6pm PST today.

This is impressive! 👀

GPT 6 Astra is INSANE. It built the backrooms in blender and then added VHS effects etc. Took 30 minutes to make it and another 20 to export. This isn't AI generated video it's all in blender. It did the sound effects too. aprox 5 prompts.

[John Rodriguez @OSDevSource]

Wow.

[Sharif Shameem @sharifshameem]

GPT-6 Astra recreated the Palace of Fine arts in Blender.

This is favorite building in San Francisco because it was built for the World's Fair in 1914 where the steam locomotive and telephone were showed off. It was a time when technology gave us all a deep sense of optimism for the future.

I feel like some of that sense has been lost since, but I hope models like astra can help restore it, and push us towards a more hopeful future.

[Sam Altman @sama]

it is obviously trivial relative to everything else, but the fact that astra can make me whatever fun little game i can imagine and i can be playing it a few minutes later is so cool

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Astra was probably our biggest competitive advantage while it wasn’t generally available.

Since we’ve had it our productivity jumped so much that we shifted some of our plans 6 months ahead and will ship them at DevDay instead of mid next year.

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

People keep asking for the prompt, harness, and other things I used to make this come out so good. You're all overthinking it.

1. Install Blender
2. Open Codex app
3. Paste prompt
4. Game appears in 30 minutes to 2 hours

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Because we are beyond happy to have Astra rolled out today ahead of schedule and you have been super patient with us (not really, but it’s ok!)… we will do the full banked reset today too for all Plus, Pro and Business users. Lands end of day.

Happy Astra day and enjoy a phenomenal weekend.

PS: If you create the account or upgrade before 8pm PT you will get it too. Still time!

[John Rodriguez @OSDevSource]

I’m speechless.

GPT-6-Astra (Max) VS GPT-6-Astra (Medium) - Simple 3D Sonic Game In Godot

Astra on Max took 53 minutes and used 4% of my weekly usage on a Pro x5 Account. Astra on Medium took 25 minutes and used 1% of the weekly usage

[John Rodriguez @OSDevSource]

@itssotsot Just noticed this last night. 😂

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

OK nevermind, the team and Astra did a good job and our systems are more scalable than we anticipated.

Astra is now rolled out to all Plus and Business users too. Hope you have a blast and let us know how it goes!

[John Rodriguez @OSDevSource]

That’s incredible, huge leap in design! 👀

[Angel 🌼 @Angaisb_]

I asked GPT-6 Astra to make a portfolio inside a console similar to a Gameboy and LOOK AT THIS

It's so so so good, a huge jump from GPT-5.6

[John Rodriguez @OSDevSource]

@jarrodwatts It’s outstanding so far.

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

We are progressing through the rollout of Astra. Pro and Business subscriptions get it first, some of you should start seeing it across ChatGPT Work and Codex.

And then we will proceed with rollout to all of Plus as fast as we can.

[John Rodriguez @OSDevSource]

Just got access to GPT-6 Astra!! 🔥🔥🔥

[Sam Altman @sama]

first, sorry for the messy rollout.

second, when we screw up, we try to make it right.

third, we should be able to begin broad rollout to API customers and chatgpt subscribers in the near future. as usual we will start with pro subscribers.

[fouad @fouadmatin]

Alongside the launch of GPT-6 Astra, we're committing $1 billion to subsidize Daybreak access and frontier capabilities to help frontline defenders protect essential services and critical infrastructure.

Welcome to the AGI era for cybersecurity.

@thsottiaux It’s a great day to be a OpenAI user

[John Rodriguez @OSDevSource]

@ConnorTalksAI @thsottiaux @ChatGPT Damn… just a solid post right here. 🫡💯
