Official source: First impressions of GPT-6 Astra from developers ↗

The compilation alternates seated conversations with three visibly different projects: a historical city, designed websites and a puzzle investigation. The diversity of artifacts supplies the organizing idea even without relying on a single extended demonstration.

Selected visual evidence

Three moments to inspect.

Small stills from the reviewed evidence. Timecodes locate approximate passages; they are not cut boundaries. Open a still or follow its source link.

Proposed adaptation

What to borrow.

For a compilation, choose examples whose outputs look and function differently. Their contrast can explain breadth more clearly than several similar screens.
