Stack Overflow's post, curated on eChai

Founder Notes

ChatGPT was five days old. Stack Overflow's moderators banned answers written with it, in a policy statement headed simply "ChatGPT is banned", on the grounds that the answers were plausible enough to post and wrong often enough to be worse than nothing, and that checking them was falling on volunteers. It is the earliest institutional response to generative AI anywhere and the argument has not changed since: the cost of a confident wrong answer is not borne by the person who generated it. Three years later the same argument closed curl's bug bounty. Stack Overflow's own question volume has fallen sharply over the period, which is the part nobody at the time predicted.

Stack Overflow 6 Dec 2022

The average rate of getting correct answers from ChatGPT is too low.

Vaibhav Srivastav is at OpenAI, and was at Hugging Face before that, so this is written from inside the team that shipped the model. The five lines in the middle are the part to keep: what to change in your own prompts and AGENTS.md now that Astra follows instructions more closely than the model before it.

GPT-6 Astra is now available to all Pro, Enterprise and Business Premium users in ChatGPT Work and Codex. It’s also live in the API.

It's a phenomenal model and I love every second working with it!

Astra follows instructions more closely, so revisit your prompts and skills:

> Make “can you…” mean “do it”: finish authorised work and prepare a reviewable result before seeking approval.

> Audit AGENTS.md and skills. Ask it to identify the exact file and rule blocking progress. Prioritise your request over skill guidelines.

> Specify short paragraphs, plain language and phrases to avoid.

> Ask for subagents on independent work when it improves speed or quality.

> Run relevant checks. Repeat or expand only for changes, failures or unresolved concerns.

To push it to it's limits, I gave it a prompt to build a real-scale video fly through of nürburguring track in blender and it did not disappoint!

Enjoy! ✨

Miguel Ángel is a product engineer at HeyGen, and HyperFrames is HeyGen's own product, so this is the model being used on the thing he builds all day.

Astra is so cracked at Blender.

You can literally one-shot game assets with it.
