OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra Builds Cartoonish Bat in Blender Demo

Last updated Sep 6, 2026

Alix Ollivier shared footage of OpenAI's new GPT-6 Astra model autonomously navigating Blender to create a 3D bat from a text prompt, calling the persistent effort AGI. The result drew laughs for its stylized, animated look far from photorealistic, with viewers joking it resembled a Banjo-Kazooie enemy. While some praised the agent's menu control and potential for artists to explore ideas faster, critics highlighted inferior outputs compared to free models and high token costs. The demo underscores AI's growing ability to handle long sessions in creative tools, though results remain uneven.
