2026/09/26

GPT 6 Astra is OpenAI's most powerful model. So can it be used for robotics? In this episode we look at various demos that show people implementing GPT 6 Astra to control robotic arms and more. Some work in simulation, some work in real environments. And the results are actually surprising. The LLM even starts showing up on various benchmarks and sometimes outperforms SOTA Physical AI models. Of course, there are caveats to this but the performance is seriously impressive. #chatgpt #astra #gpt
