Why it matters
Astra shortened the trip from a one-off idea to working interactive software, while the battery work shows why generated prototypes still need engineering.

Chase Lean (@chaseleantj), an AI engineer and educator, used OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra to create an interactive aquarium wallpaper for his Mac, producing a desktop scene in which schools of fish change direction as the cursor moves through the water.
