OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra hits 80% accuracy in spotting IKEA assembly errors

openai's gpt-6 astra has demonstrated 80% accuracy in detecting errors in ikea furniture assembly photos, a substantial improvement from 28% just months prior. in the epoch ai's furniture assembly benchmark, astra outperformed other models such as claude fable 5.1 and claude opus 5, which scored 70% and 61% respectively. chinese open-weight models like kimi k3 trailed the leaders by at least seven months. although astra's performance is notable, it currently takes three minutes to process each photo, making it unsuitable for real-time assembly assistance. researchers suggest this technology could be applied to more complex tasks like car repairs or appliance fixes. astra also shows promise in visual robotic tasks.
