Chapters
Theo & Ben break down OpenAI's latest model, Astra, and why it's their new benchmark for AI coding, computer use, and multimodal work. But it's not all good: they explain why its UI, stopping behavior, and agent reliability still create friction in real software workflows. From DEFCON puzzles to coding-agent PRs, we're comparing Astra with Fable and asking what a trustworthy OpenAI model should do next.
