OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra designed a hardware device from scratch in under a week
AI summary
OpenAI's hardware team used GPT-6 Astra to design a device for the Codex coding agent in under a week, handling everything from the enclosure to the circuit board to the firmware. Several revision rounds were needed before production because the model didn't always account for manufacturing tolerances.

- Why it was chosen
- Sets out how the hardware design work was split across stages and why revisions were needed, showing where the model's handling of manufacturing constraints actually ends.
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
