Sep 9, 2026
About this episode
We need to talk some more about Astra, aka GPT-6, and unpack it as OpenAI’s most capable model so far. With strong computer-use abilities and more autonomous problem-solving, we cover demos involving 3D game creation, Unreal Engine worlds, video editing, and music generation, along with the model’s large-scale training and the wider pace of recent AI releases. ------ 🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️ NEWSLETTER: https://limitlessft.substack.com/ FOLLOW ON X: https://x.com/LimitlessFT SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5oV29YUL8AzzwXkxEXlRMQ APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/limitless-podcast/id1813210890 RSS FEED: https://limitlessft.substack.com/ ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 AI Frontier Arrives 3:36 Computer Use Revolution 7:22 Massive Demos Unleashed 11:22 Cartoons and Game Worlds 16:50 Music Meets Machine 20:50 OpenAI's Compute Comeback 23:09 AGI or Just Early? 26:33 Hardware Is Next 27:38 Cheaper Power Ahead ------ RESOURCES Josh: https://x.com/JoshKale Ejaaz: https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ------ Not financial or tax advice.
