Astra paused GTA Vice City to plan its moves, a user says

A user says GPT-6 Astra couldn't keep up with GTA Vice City's helicopter mission in real time, so it paused the game to think through its next moves. It planted one of four bombs before the helicopter was destroyed, according to the user, who was still impressed.

The discussion contrasted computer use through graphical interfaces with coding. One participant thought Astra was probably a step change for the former, but described both Astra and 5.6 Sol as very good yet imperfect at coding. The player likewise reported little coding difference from Sol when implementing ideas they'd already worked out, suggesting more open-ended tasks might better distinguish strong models.
