You're using GPT-6 Astra WRONG

The Startup Ideas Podcast

About
I talk with Ras Mic about GPT-6 Astra. We skip the game demos and the 3D toys, and we focus on use cases to earn money or improve products. I share 9 Astra prompts that I posted publicly, and Greg Brockman reposted. Ras then shows his hardware project: he moved from a speaker idea to a parts list, a Blender layout, and merged code in about 30 minutes. The takeaway is simple: use this model for the ideas that felt too large for you last year.

Key Points





Astra costs more per task, and it uses fewer steps, so the value per dollar stays high.



A performance audit moved one of Ras’s apps from 800 ms to 20–30 ms.



A security audit on his live payments app found real risks in production.



Ras went from a speaker idea to a $561 parts order and a merged pull request in about 30 minutes.



Ras’s point: intelligence keeps climbing, and bravery stays flat. Ask for bigger things.



The shift that vibe coding brought to software now reaches physical products.
