GPT-6 Astra just turned non-technical people into game developers. Not basic block-and-sphere stuff either, real, playable custom games. Here's the same prompt, run through Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra. Which one's actually better for building games?

GPT-5.6 vs GPT-5.5 on my custom spaceship prompt. I gave both models the exact same custom prompt. This is also the same prompt I previously gave to Fable 5. For context, GPT-5.6 Pro worked for 87 minutes, while GPT-5.5 Extra High worked for 34 minutes and 42 seconds. As I’ve said before, based on great authority GPT-5.6 will be an incremental/soldi improvement over GPT-5.5, not a “Fable killer.” My rough expectation has been that it would trade blows with Fable 5 on some benchmarks, maybe win around half depending on the category, but not clearly surpass it overall. And again fable five will have bigger model smell, but this was expected. After testing this coding output, that view feels pretty accurate. GPT-5.6 is clearly better than GPT-5.5 in several visual areas. The lighting, shading, chairs, object details, and exterior of the spaceship looked noticeably stronger. The scene was also easier to test. I do want to give GPT-5.5 credit though. It built out the rooms much much better and the planets looked better than GPT-5.6’s. It was also interesting that both GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6 produced better-looking planets than Fable 5 in this specific test. The downside with GPT-5.5 was stability. The game was much glitchier and harder to test compared to GPT-5.6. But when it comes to the core of the demo, which is the spaceship itself, Fable 5 still beat both models pretty comfortably. GPT-5.6 is impressive, but from this test, it looks exactly like what I expected which was a meaningful incremental improvement over GPT-5.5, at least for indie game demos, but not something that replaces Fable 5.

BREAKING: OpenAI just dropped GPT-6 ASTRA!!! 🚀✨ We’ve been testing it extensively at Every 🪨 across coding, writing, and knowledge work. My take: it’s a big upgrade from 5.6-Sol, with some frustrating habits that keep it from matching Fable at the top end. Here’s your vibe check: - The best writing model I’ve tried. It’s fast, produces very little slop, and is easy to steer. It’s a good companion for actually working through the writing I do every day. (Not to mention, it one-shotted the first draft of its own vibe check today!) - The computer use is wild. It can go for hours at a time using complicated apps to get work done. It did the first cut of our Fable 5.1 vibe check video...kind of mindblowing - Impressive 3D games and visualizations. It can make beautiful 3D worlds from a single prompt. I one-shotted a historically accurate rendition of the Battle of Waterloo - It can overcomplicate things. (Especially at higher effort levels.) Ask for a simple interface and you get extra labels, buttons, and features everywhere. It has a habit of turning everything into a landing page. It just doesnt quite match Fable's ability to intuitively understand your prompt and do something delightful (without overcomplicating.) Net Result: If you already live in ChatGPT for Work or Codex and can afford it, it’s an easy upgrade from 5.6-Sol. The biggest proof of Astra's effectiveness at helping you do work is our vibe check. We found out it was launching at 3 AM this morning, and had a 4,000 word vibe check + video done by 2 PM. Not possible without this model. I’m reaching for Astra all day, but Fable 5.1 still gets my biggest tasks. On ambitious builds, Fable is better at understanding what I want and taking it further than I would have thought to ask. State of Play: Astra is launching to Enterprise customers today, and the rest of ChatGPT users over the coming days. Now, both OpenAI and Anthropic have a higher class of models that cost more to use. That changes who gets to use frontier AI and how. It's also a new vector of competition between them: Fable and Astra are priced at the same level. We'll see what that means for adoption in the coming days and weeks. read our full vibe check Every 🪨 today:
