Our Commentary ​

GPT-6 Astra. Already? We're barely processing the implications of GPT-5, and now this. The pace is just... relentless. I find myself oscillating between genuine excitement for the new capabilities and a creeping sense of overwhelm. How do we, as developers, truly integrate and understand these leaps when they come so fast? Simon Willison's llm tool is, as always, right there, making it accessible. That's fantastic, but it also means the pressure to adapt is immediate. I'm curious to see the real-world impact, not just the benchmark numbers. Is this a true paradigm shift, or just another iteration in a very fast race?
