GPT-6 Astra with Ben Davis

Most teams still think of AI as a tool for automating repetitive tasks. This misses the point of where the real value is now. The work your team does by hand, the deep problem-solving that requires connecting disparate ideas, is the next target. If your operation relies on a few key people to figure out complex issues, you need to understand how quickly that edge is eroding.

Ben Davis, testing OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, showed it tackling "DEF CON's hardest puzzle challenges." This isn't about writing emails faster; it's about an AI that can handle intricate, multi-step logic and creative solutions. He demonstrated how it can reason through problems that typically demand high-level human intelligence, pointing to a future where these capabilities are standard, not exceptional. This means the problems you pay humans to solve are changing.
