Users Question Whether OpenAI Nerfed GPT-6 Astra After Launch

Users are reporting that OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra appears less capable roughly one week after its launch, according to Decrypt. The complaints suggest that some users believe the newest model has been “nerfed,” though the supplied report does not provide technical evidence or an explanation from OpenAI. The reaction also follows a pattern seen with the company’s previous model, which users reportedly criticized in a similar cycle in July. The reports highlight ongoing scrutiny of how AI models perform after release, as user impressions can shift soon after launch. No details were provided on specific tests, features, or changes that may have prompted the complaints. OpenAI’s response was not included in the source material.
