Hands-on testing of GPT-6 Astra: a comprehensive upgrade over GPT-5.6 Sol in speed, front-end development, and coding capabilities

GPT-6 Astra has officially been rolled out to all subscribers. After hands-on testing, the author concluded that its overall capabilities have caught up with Claude Fable 5, with 100% of the quota available. Compared with GPT-5.6 Sol, it is significantly faster: reviews of large systems were reduced from several hours to about 10 minutes, while code scans identified numerous previously undiscovered performance issues and completed the fixes within two hours. Its 3D front-end generation and aesthetic quality have improved substantially, and its writing is better in its plain descriptive style and word choice, though it still lacks the sense of white space found in Chinese writing.
