🤖 GPT-6 Astra cracked a 108-year-old German radio message

GPT-6 Astra has reportedly deciphered a German radio transmission from 1918 that may never have been decoded before.

The message translates roughly to:

“AN ENGLISH CRUISER ARRIVED AT SEVASTOPOL ON THE 24TH. AN ALLIED SQUADRON FOLLOWS ON THE 26TH.”

Astra then cross-checked the historical details and found that HMS Canterbury was recorded as arriving in Sevastopol on November 24, 1918, followed by an Allied squadron on November 26.

So the model didn’t just decode the ciphertext, it independently matched the result against historical records more than a century later.

🤖 Claude just gave biomolecular AI a serious speed boost

Anthropic says Claude optimized more than 30 open-source biomolecular models in just under four weeks, making them roughly 4× faster on average.

The models cover tasks scientists use to predict and design biomolecules. Claude also created a low-memory mode that can run accurate predictions of systems larger than 10,000 tokens including amino acids, nucleotides and atoms from small molecules and ions on a single NVIDIA GPU node.

Anthropic has released the resulting code and optimization kits, meaning researchers can actually use the improvements rather than treating them as a benchmark demo.

The interesting part is the workflow. instead of AI simply helping scientists write code, Claude was used to improve the scientific software itself, making existing biomolecular models faster, cheaper and capable of handling larger problems.

🤖 Astra just got absolutely destroyed by Minecraft.

For days, Vals AI livestreamed Astra playing Minecraft and the AI was making serious progress.

It built a semi-automatic blaze farm, collected 6 Blaze Rods, found a Warped Forest, killed more than 6 Endermen and walked away with 3 precious Ender Pearls.

Then one creeper changed everything. It blew up the chest where Astra had stored its entire haul. Gone. Blaze Rods. Pearls. Everything.

Astra immediately wrote itself a warning: “ALWAYS CARRY CRITICAL ITEMS… don’t store in unguarded chest ever again.”

And apparently, that was enough. Astra refused to continue playing. Instead, it spent the rest of the session quietly planting potatoes.
