Codex users: here's an amazing way to take advantage of the efficiency and capability of GPT-5.6 Luna Max. It's called 'sol-advisor'. 1. GPT-5.6 Sol High as orchestrator 2. GPT-5.6 Luna Max as implementer for routine tasks 3. GPT-5.6 Terra Max as implementer for complex tasks

Codex users: do this right *now*. Max reasoning effort is off by default. Luna at Max reasoning is ~ Sol Medium / Opus 5 Medium level at 1/6th the cost. Change your life today.

Wow. Lotta love for ‘sol-advisor’. Uses GPT-5.6 Sol as orchestrator/advisor and Luna and Terra on Max reasoning as implementers, with their 80% & 20% price reductions. Luna Max is Sol Medium level and Terra Max is Sol High level on AA-Agentic coding. Graph from @rasbt

Astra achieved 10 scientific breakthroughs for a total of $2,000. These are problems that human scientists were unable to solve, at any cost. At the same time, OpenAI has found major test time efficiency improvements, dropping the cost of Luna and Terra 80% and 20%,

And yes we did try other major problems without success. Sadly no Millennium Prize problems (yet). But also, we didn’t spend a lot on each problem. It’s possible to push test-time compute much further.

👀 OpenAI's next-gen AI model: Astra > Solves 10 major problems across math, quantum complexity and theoretical computer science > Costs $2,000 at GPT-5.6 Sol API prices to solve all 10 problems > Noam Brown calls it a "major step for scientific reasoning" A report yesterday

Now we know what @polynoamial and team have been working on: Astra. A multi-agent system that is trained to perform well specifically on ultra-long horizon tasks. This report from The Information says OpenAI plans to announce they’ve solved 10 unsolved maths problems,

🚨 OpenAI preparing to release a new model family, tentatively named "Astra" OAI touted its abilities to have multiple agents work together over a long period of time to solve particularly hard problems Astra is a new class of OpenAI models alongside Sol, Terra and Luna h/t
