GPT-6 Astra Beats WoW Orc Starting Zone in 40 Minutes, No Deaths
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra cleared World of Warcraft's Orc starting area in 40 minutes with zero deaths, using the agent-wow client on a private server.
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra has cleared the Orc starting area in World of Warcraft in 40 minutes without a single death, according to the developer of agent-wow. The run took place on a private server and used a single prompt in Codex with agent-wow, an open-source client.
Unlike typical game-playing AI, the agent did not see any rendered frames. Instead, it relied on network traffic and quest data pulled from the server's files to navigate and complete objectives. It finished every quest in the Valley of Trials and ended its run in Sen'jin Village.
The feat was achieved using the agent-wow client, which is open source and designed to let AI agents interact with World of Warcraft servers. The developer behind agent-wow reported the results, which were covered by tomshardware.com.
Background
GPT-6 Astra was released early last month. Shortly after its release, the model played Portal using screenshots and knowledge of the player's position, completing the entire game over about 24 hours.
