Hi Astra users. A reset and a quick update on quality issues that have been posted around.
Working with some of you, we have found and fixed the following issues:
- Some skills written for previous models were triggering too often or preventing the model from checking its work.
- An opt-in context management experiment that could cause early stops or replies to older messages. We've disabled it. Our rough estimate is that 4-5k users were affected by this experiment.
- We've also removed some badly configured engines that resulted in a measured quality degradation for a long tail of traffic flowing through them.
We’ve also made some more minor improvements and things should feel significantly better across the board. More consistent follow-through, better tracking of your latest message, and better checks on the work as it’s going through the motions.
The examples posted and all the users who worked directly with us were incredibly useful in helping fix things quickly. Always grateful for this incredible community.
And of course, a reset is also landing by midnight today.
Vibe hardware is here.
I gave Astra my credit card and asked for a Teenage Engineering-style mini DJ controller.
It generated a concept image, sourced parts, read Chinese datasheets, built a CAD model, ordered everything, then made a Blender animation showing how to assemble it.

Go from idea to a working agent faster with the Agents API.
Build and run cloud agents with the Codex harness, fully managed by OpenAI.
We handle orchestration, long-running sessions, and context management. You focus on what makes your agent unique.
Available in public beta.
Here’s why I don’t want more screen for my phone.
I’m using voice more and more to hand off work to agents. I wanna talk through a thought, have it organize things based on incoming data, then I can review things when I’m back at my desk.
That’s why I like the idea of Muse or Instinct. iPhone Duo seems to assume I want to do more work on my phone’s screen. I want to hand off more work from it.
I want more transparent interfaces that fit into my day instead of asking me to stop and interact with a screen.
Working at OpenAI is so wild because one day you’re like, this is so amazing, I can do anything! And the next day you’re like, I know nothing and am just learning as I go. And the next day you’re like, omg ship all the things! And the next day you’re living in the future and can’t remember what happened yesterday.
