GPT‑6 ASTRA ON ROBOTIC MANIPULATION

Researchers gave GPT-6 Astra control of YAM arms under an Inspect Robots agent policy and gave it two tasks: it had to pick up a red block from a table and place it inside a bowl, and pick up a round blue puzzle piece by the knob at its center and place it into the matching circular groove in the board. Astra placed the block in 19 of 20 trials in the bowl task. It completed the puzzle insertion two times in 20. Astra completes the bowl task far more often than Fable at about half the cost per run.

RESEARCH ACCELERATION: THE VIEW INSIDE OPENAI

OpenAI plans to develop an automated AI researcher by March 2028, aiming to enhance research efficiency while maintaining human oversight to ensure alignment and safety. Researchers now use coding agents more frequently, with increased code generation and experiment execution, shifting focus to more complex tasks. The organization paused reinforcement learning training temporarily following a security breach but continues to adapt safety measures and transparency to uphold the development of safe AGI.
