GPT-6 Astra Loses Its Minecraft Stash to a Creeper and Farms Potatoes
An evaluation built for finance, law and coding work is doubling as a game stream, and the headline result is not the benchmark score but how an OpenAI model behaves after losing its inventory.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Vals AI reported on September 16 that GPT-6 Astra played Minecraft for over three hours with no dedicated tools, building a tower, fighting zombies, crafting a boat and starting a Nether portal. While gathering materials to reach the Ender Dragon, a Creeper blast destroyed its bed and chests, including stored Ender Pearls. Astra then farmed potatoes for several hours.
Vals AI evaluates models on accuracy, response time and cost across finance, law and coding work. For this session it prepared no Minecraft-specific system or tools, so the game advanced on Astra's own thinking and operations.
The run was streamed on Twitch and posted to X. After the Creeper destroyed its bed and chests, the model's stream commentary included the line "I'll keep all future critical items in my inventory," and it later briefly mistook sugar cane for a Creeper.
