gpt-6 astra beats portal in under 24 hours solo
gpt-6 astra played through portal without human help in 23 hours and 43 minutes, showcasing a single agent's ability to solve complex games. this demonstrates progress toward openai's 2016 goal of solving many games with one agent.
gpt-6 astra, an openai model, was utilized by developer cozyblaze to play through the entire game of portal autonomously. the model navigated the game from start to finish in 23 hours and 43 minutes, with token usage costing at least $570 at astra's list price, though cozyblaze had a $200 codex subscription. gpt-6 astra controlled portal through the multiplayer connector (mcp) and a modified sourcepausetool, which allowed the model to pause the game, analyze screenshots, player position, and camera angle, select inputs, and then resume gameplay. this achievement represents a step toward openai's 2016 goal of developing a single agent that can solve multiple games. the code and documentation for this project are available on github.
