GPT-6 Astra is actually nuts for electrical engineering
"Sam Altman wants to design the chips that run the model that designed the chips."
Explain Like I'm Normal
Early reports suggest the next-generation Astra model is showing emergent capabilities in complex electrical engineering, moving beyond simple code to hardware verification and architecture. If the model can truly navigate trade-offs in circuit design, we are entering a feedback loop where AI accelerates the development of its own compute. While currently based on anecdotal evidence, the shift from 'writing essays' to 'designing silicon' is a massive leap for physical-world utility.
