Astra reportedly farms potatoes for hours after a Minecraft creeper setback

In a September 15 update, ValsAI said Astra had built a semi-automatic blaze farm during its Minecraft computer-use test. It collected six blaze rods and three pearls before storing its valuables in a chest. A creeper then blew up the chest and Astra’s bed, wiping out its progress as thousands watched the stream, ValsAI said. The evaluator said the model spent the next several hours doing essentially nothing but farming potatoes, while viewers urged it to “pick up the pace.”
