OpenAI’s newest AI model seemingly lost the will to progress in Minecraft after a Creeper destroyed its most valuable items, spending the next several hours farming potatoes instead.
GPT-6 Astra is OpenAI’s latest frontier model, with the company touting major improvements to computer use and long-running autonomous tasks. Independent evaluation company Vals AI has now been putting those abilities to the test by letting the model loose inside Minecraft.
The experiment lasted 141 hours and, according to Vals AI, Astra managed to progress further through Minecraft than any AI system it had previously tested. It built a semi-automatic Blaze farm, collected six Blaze Rods, found a Warped Forest, killed more than six Endermen, and secured three Ender Pearls.
The model appeared defeated, spending the next several hours doing essentially nothing but farming potatoes. Stream viewers noticed and complained that Astra needed to "pick up the pace." Astra also seemed to become paranoid about creepers: "GREEN tall thing ahead was SUGARCANE,…
Things fell apart after Astra stored its valuable items inside a chest while thousands of viewers watched the run.
A Creeper wandered over and exploded, destroying both the chest and Astra’s bed and wiping out much of the progress it had made.
Vals AI said Astra appeared “extremely frustrated” afterward, with the model telling itself: “ALWAYS CARRY CRITICALITEMS withkeepInventory; don’tstoreinunguardedchesteveragain.”
What happened next quickly became the highlight of the experiment.
