A new model called ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐ฒ has reportedly been released, and this time the big story isnโt just about chat or reasoning.
Itโs about computer use.
So what does that actually mean?
Previous AI models could tell you how to do something. Astra is designed to actually use your computer and do the task for you.
On the ๐ข๐ฆ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐น๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ต๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ, Astra reportedly scored ๐ณ๐ฎ.๐ฒ%, compared with ๐ฒ๐ฑ.๐ณ% for ๐๐ฃ๐ง-๐ฑ.๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐น.
But the more interesting part is the speed.
The same tasks that took Sol around 75 minutes took Astra about ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ on average.
And cybersecurity is where things get even more serious.
According to OpenAIโs Preparedness Framework, Astra is the first model to reach the โCriticalโ level for cybersecurity capabilities.
During testing, it reportedly discovered two previously unknown security vulnerabilities and scored 100% on ExploitBench.
That context window is huge. You could potentially give it an entire series of books and still have room to work.
Thereโs one important catch, though.
You canโt just start using Astra today.
Access is initially limited to OpenAIโs Trusted Access and Daybreak programs, with wider access expected later across ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, API, AWS, and Azure.
And for advanced cybersecurity tasks, the model will reportedly refuse certain requests for general users.
One more interesting point:
ARC Prizeโs team has pointed out that a 100% ARC-AGI-3 score isnโt completely new. NVIDIAโs AVO architecture, running on Claude Opus 5, has reportedly achieved it before.
So maybe the bigger story isnโt just the model itself.
Itโs the combination of the model + agent system + tools.
And honestly, thatโs the part I find most interesting.
AI is slowly moving from โHereโs how you can do itโ to โIโll do it for you.โ
That shift could change a lot about how we work with computers. ๐
I'd pick Violet Desk. Blue is what every SaaS uses, violet stands out and still says AI, and the orange sticky notes pop more against it. Does the hero chip row under the headline work on mobile?
AI for the masses, craft for the rich. What do you think about this? ๐
Brands like Dior or Prada invest in hand drawn animation, where you can feel the time and the hands behind it. Meanwhile Coca Cola makes its Christmas campaign with AI.
When anyone can generate โperfectโ in seconds, the human touch becomes the distinctive thing.
Is AI becoming the look of mass market, while craft becomes the new luxury? ๐ค
An exploration of art, creativity, and creative direction through the lens of AI ๐ธ
This is an independent, experimental concept project, created entirely with AI to explore new possibilities in visual storytelling, artistic expression, and creative direction.
The work incorporates AESOP brand assets and identity, which remain the property of their respective owners. This is a personal creative exploration, not an official AESOP campaign or commissioned work.
Created with AI. Directed by me.
A concept. A creative experiment. A vision brought to life through AI.
