OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra can now tell you exactly where you screwed up your IKEA shelf

OpenAI researchers report that GPT-6 Astra can now identify assembly errors in IKEA furniture from photographs with 80 percent accuracy, a significant improvement over the 28 percent rate observed in late 2025. While this demonstrates progress in the model's visual reasoning capabilities, current processing speeds are not yet sufficient for real-time guidance during construction.
