First impression. It seems smarter at synthesing information faster. Something Gemini was really good at but it does it better.
It speaks more naturally, unlike claude which litteraly just vomit jargon and random analogies.
It's very expensive. After 15 message I burned through my 5 hour limits.
Demos online are very biased toward fancy user interfaces and animations and video games

I used the same prompt in 5.6 sol and in Astra
Astra did a smarter web search and found higher quality resources and blog posts about the topic I was trying to learn.
On the same effort level, while it was cranking through it did about 3-5x number of web sources found.

GPT-6 Astra is going to create so many new jobs.
The future is exciting, what a time to be alive with so much abundant intelligence.

No one on HN seems to care about its crazy ability in 3D modeling?
3D might have just been solved like coding

I care. I've been feeling bad for all the people who have dedicated their lives to that craft. It took years of daily practise to be good at 3D modelling...
When Astra becomes wildly available it seems likely a single 3d modeller (or even someone with no 3d modelling knowledge at all) could do the work of 10 today. Those guys are going to find it very hard to find work.
