OpenAI's latest model, GPT-6 Astra, demonstrates significant advancements in computer use, capable of performing complex tasks like 3D modeling, controlling cameras, and generating music. However, users report that its computational power comes with a very high cost, quickly depleting token limits even on expensive plans.
“This thing operates a machine, a computer, like you. Or in some cases, better than you and I. This thing is playing games. This thing is doing 3D modeling. It's controlling cameras. It's making textures. It's making music.”
“But man, oh man, is it expensive. Meaning, if you have even the $200 plan, which is, you know, one of the ones that I've been rocking lately, you will run out of tokens. You will hit your limits.”
“I've burnt through a bunch of resets and I am not alone. There are a lot of people kind of complaining about the, the, the usage of this model.”
