Is ChatGPT 6 Really That Good? See for Yourself
Summary
ChatGPT-6 Astra represents a massive AI upgrade with 96% context retrieval accuracy (up from 73%), genuine computer use capabilities for complex apps like Blender and Unreal Engine, and the ability to correct tasks mid-execution without restarting—marking the first truly practical AI agent for professional workflows.
Key Takeaways
- Context retrieval improved dramatically from 73% to 96%, making longer projects retrievable in single chats—a tangible productivity gain for complex, multi-step work.
- ChatGPT-6 is the first model genuinely capable of computer use and browser automation at scale, handling complex software like Blender (3D modeling) and Unreal Engine (game development) without user learning curve.
- Mid-task correction workflow: unlike previous models, ChatGPT-6 builds on existing work rather than abandoning and restarting, reducing iteration cycles for coding and design projects.
- Pricing model reflects capability tier: Astra costs $10/$50 per million input/output tokens vs. Claude's $4/$20, but still competitive for enterprise use cases requiring genuine agent capabilities.
- Reasoning level (Light/Medium/High/Max) significantly impacts speed and quality—Max takes 1+ hours but delivers superior results; adjust based on task complexity and token budget constraints.

Chat GPT Astra or Chat GPT6 came out a few days ago and I've been testing it non-stop. So I have ton of different examples to show you in this video. And I also had Chat GPT put together this presentation with the new model to show you everything that is new with this model including things it could do inside of Chat GPT work for example. And I actually stopped making model release videos because I felt like every new model just was incrementally better. But having used chat GPT6 extensively now for a few days, I could tell you it's actually a massive upgrade. One of the biggest upgrades I've seen in AI in a long time. So what exactly is new with Chat GPT6? Well, it's actually really good at keeping longer projects in memory inside of any given chat. And that's kind of related a little bit…
