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
Same pattern holds in outbound tooling. Filtering, dedupe and enrichment lookups are plain code. The model only writes the first line once the row is already verified. Cuts cost and the weird outputs.
Picture a consultant who takes 8 sales calls a week.
After each one comes the same routine: replay the recording, write notes, update the pipeline sheet, write the follow-up email. Call it 30 minutes a call. That is 4 hours a week, and on busy days the follow-up slips to tomorrow.
I built an n8n workflow that takes that routine away:
โ Fireflies records and transcribes the call
โ As soon as the transcript is ready, AI writes a summary, the open questions, the next step and whether the prospect is ready to go ahead
โ A follow-up email that fits that outcome is saved in Gmail drafts, addressed to the person on the call
โ The call is logged in Google Sheets and the notes land in your inbox
Nothing is sent automatically. You read the draft, change a line if you want, and press send.
For that consultant, 4 hours of admin a week turns into a few minutes of reading, and every prospect hears back the same day.
I tested it on a real recorded client call and have submitted it to the n8n template library as a free template. If you want it set up for your business, send me a message.
