GPT-6 Astra on robotic manipulation

Robocurve ran GPT-6 Astra through the same two bimanual robot-arm tasks previously used to benchmark Claude Fable 5 and 5.1. Astra completed the block-into-bowl task in 19 of 20 trials at roughly half the cost per run of Fable 5.1, but matched Fable 5.1's two-out-of-twenty completion rate on the harder puzzle-insertion task.
