How GPT Astra compares

7 creators weighed in

Won website design over Opus, Gemini and Muse; third on 3D models; too basic on games; accurate but less personal in writing

"Yeah, I really like Astra's version. I think it's very simple... There's a clear call to action to enter the email address. And down here, I really like how Astra used ChatGPT image generation to add images of people I've interviewed, to..."

"GPT Astra just launched and this is by far the best model I've ever used for building games. I worked on all four games at the same time on Friday night using Astra on Medium. I think you can get quite far even on the $20 ChatGPT Plus plan."

Compared favorably to GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6 versions of the same game demo; also compared to Claude with Fable which was used initially before Astra was available

"I had one-shotted a vibe check for OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra with no trouble. And then this was literally the next piece I tried to draft and it had gone completely haywire."

Used as fallback when Claude models stopped working; returned to Claude with Opus 5.5

This Week in Startups

"OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra attempted 97 out of 100 trials and completed 60 of them. It refused only two on safety grounds. This is no jailbreaks, no workarounds or fancy prompts."

Tested alongside Claude Fable 5 and open model Act 2 from AI2 in the RoboHarm benchmark

Peter Diamandis

"The results released this week is that GPT-6 Astra took first place in Vending Bench 2 across six runs. It finished with an average bank balance of $15,515, up from 500 — nearly three times what Fable 5.1 got and 31 times the starting ca..."

Compared to Fable 5.1 (achieved nearly 3x more than Fable 5.1)
