You're using GPT-6 Astra WRONG

I talk with Ras Mic about GPT-6 Astra. We skip the game demos and the 3D toys, and we focus on use cases to earn money or improve products. I share 9 Astra prompts that I posted publicly, and Greg Brockman reposted. Ras then shows his hardware project: he moved from a speaker idea to a parts list, a Blender layout, and merged code in about 30 minutes. The takeaway is simple: use this model for the ideas that felt too large for you last year. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 01:53 – Astra Overview 04:14 – 9 Astra Prompts 11:48 – Jarvis Speaker Idea 16:21 – Think Bigger with Astra 18:29 – Vibe Coding to Vibe Manufacturing 21:16 – Closing Thoughts Key Points Astra costs more per task, and it uses fewer steps, so the value per dollar stays high. A performance audit moved one of Ras’s apps from 800 ms to 20–30 ms. A security audit on his live payments app found real risks in production. Ras went from a speaker idea to a $561 parts order and a merged pull request in about 30 minutes. Ras’s point: intelligence keeps climbing, and bravery stays flat. Ask for bigger things. The shift that vibe coding brought to software now reaches physical products.
