AI brief

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra can examine a photo and identify whether an IKEA furniture piece was assembled incorrectly, reaching 80 percent accuracy. In November 2025, the best model managed only 28 percent.

Why it matters: It shows a large improvement in models' ability to judge physical assembly from a photo.
