GPT-6 Astra Masters IKEA Assembly

🔥 What happened OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra hit 80% accuracy on the Furniture Assembly Benchmark (FAB), correctly spotting intentional mistakes in 60 photos of three IKEA builds. The previous best was 28% by Claude Opus 4.5 in November 2025. Astra also runs fastest, at a median 3 minutes per photo. 💡 Why it matters In ten months, error detection nearly tripled. That's the difference between a useless and a usable assistant for real-world repair and assembly. Astra is 2–10x faster than prior leaders, making real-time guidance plausible for the first time. ⚡ Our take If you dismissed AI repair help in 2025, you were right. Now you're not. The real question: can OpenAI hold this lead, or will open-weight models close the seven-month gap?
