Flask's creator ran an AI 'software factory' for 35 hours and got nothing of value News
Armin Ronacher, creator of the Flask web framework, wrote on 7 September 2026 that OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra is impressive but writes compressed, hard-to-review code, and that an unattended 35-hour agent run cost about $1,200 and produced nothing useful; a post from his company Earendil found agent-written code roughly twice as verbose as established human projects.
GPT-6 Astra improves computer use sharply, but OpenAI reports a monitoring trade-off News
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra posts its clearest gains in computer use and coding-agent tasks while costing 2.5 times GPT-5.6 Sol per token, and its system card says chain-of-thought-only monitoring is weaker even as prompt-injection robustness improves.
OpenAI shipped GPT-6 Astra, and its headline benchmark score has two different answers News
OpenAI began a staged rollout of GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026 at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output, and ARC Prize's own results page shows the model scoring 62.71% on ARC-AGI-3 under one test harness and 99.95% under another.
