7 tips that turn ChatGPT 6 Astra into AGI

0:00AGI is here. Chat GPT-6 Astra is officially AGI and if you don't believe me, look at this tweet. The god of AI, Jensen Huang, declared it. AGI has arrived. Congratulations OpenAI team. But here's the thing though, if you don't use it the right way, you're not going to feel the AGI. I got good news. In this video, I'm going to give you seven hacks that are going to make you feel the AGI. These are the seven things you need to be doing immediately with Chat GPT-6 Astra to get way better results. If you don't think this is AGI by the end of this video, when you use

0:38these tips, you will believe it. Not only that, some of these tips will also save you tokens and save you money so you get way better usage out of it too. This is the most important Chat GPT-6 Astra video you're ever going to watch in your life. So let's lock in and get into it. Tip number one is you need to be using the Chat GPT desktop app, more specifically taking advantage of the computer use. The biggest improvement out of everything that shipped with Chat GPT-6 Astra is its computer use technology. It can use your computer better and faster than you. But how do you take advantage of this? Well, first

1:14of all, you use the desktop app, right? The CLI does not have any computer use functionality in it. So you need to be using the desktop app for that functionality. But then on top of that, you need to have the mindset of anything you would do with your computer, just ask Chat GPT-6 Astra to do it. So to show you how elite and smart this computer use is, check this out. Chicken parm is my favorite food. I'm going to do this. Please use computer use to go to Amazon and add all the ingredients for chicken parm to my cart. I want to make a delicious chicken parm tonight. I

1:45need all the ingredients from Whole Foods. So I'm going to have it go at all the ingredients for me and hit then all I have to do is start making it. I'm going to hit enter on this. Look how good this computer use is. I'll use computer use skilled add ingredients for four servings of chicken parm to your Amazon cart." Well, this is going to be great. So, it popped open Amazon on my computer. Look at this, it's going in, it added the chicken. Now, it looks like it's going to add mozzarella. So, it's able to think and also use my computer at the same time. Now, it's searching

2:13for parmesan cheese. It's going around, you can see it's controlling the mouse and clicking around. It's adding it to the cart. So, anytime you think of things you need to do on your computer that is like multi-step, you shouldn't be doing it yourself. You should be having ChatGPT Astra do it for you. It is as good if not better at using computers than human beings. But, there are way more benefits to using the desktop app over the CLI or anything else as well. I like that searching for 365 marinara sauce. It's saving me a little bit of money by using the generic Whole Foods brand. That's great. You

2:45need to be using the desktop app because they added a whole bunch of new features to the desktop app just for Astra, too. Check this out. Here's another reason why you need to be using the desktop app. It now can ask you questions while it's working. So, Astra right now is working on a game I'm building, and as it's doing it, it's asking me questions about what it should be building. What should the coil breaker shotgun's charge shot do? Punch through several enemies, knock enemies backward. Let's make it so it knocks enemies backwards. And boom, as I'm working, it's just asking me these questions to get for more familiar

3:16with what I want. It's almost like a progressive plan mode, right? That asks questions as it works. It doesn't think all the questions up front. It It does it as it builds, which is amazing. That's why you need to be using the desktop app. It gives you computer usability, and it gives it the ability to ask you questions while it works, which just makes the entire model so much smarter. And here's a quick trick for using computer use. The mindset I try to have is anytime I do something on my computer that I don't really enjoy, I just ask ChatGPT to do it. Go to Codex,

3:46go to work, and anytime you have to do something on your computer, add items to to cart, fill out a form, do some research, instead of you doing it, ask Chad GPT to do it. I guarantee you'll be shocked at what it's actually capable of. Here's tip number two for getting the absolute most out of Chad GPT 6 Astra. And this one also helps you save tokens. You need to be using Astra low

4:08for almost every single thing you do. Astra on low is actually way smarter than 5 6 Soul on high, and it's significantly cheaper. Check this out. This is Astra on low. This is Soul on high. It's both cheaper and significantly smarter. So, you want to be using Astra low for almost everything. But there's still some things you want to use Max and Ultra for. I like to use high and above for any sort of planning I'm doing. So, when I first go into a new thread, or I'm about to do something very intense, I go into high, and I have it do the planning. High and above are like the

4:46first AI models I've ever used that truly come up with unique novel concepts really consistently. They're able to think outside the box better than any other model I've ever used in my life. So, you want to use high and above for when you're doing any sort of planning, trying to find your blind spots, things like that. Here's a good tip for my friend Udi I really like, which is he uses it to ask it about his blind spots constantly. I asked it to show me my blind spots and refine the ideas into something I can start testing today. You want to be doing this very often with

5:19high, Max, and Ultra. You go in, you say, "Hey, let's build a plan around this. What are the blind spots we haven't thought of?" And you'll get really good results. For everything else, you use low, maybe medium, and it'll be able to do the execution so well if it's basing it off the plans from high and higher. Next tip I want to give you, and this is a quick one. It's really, really simple. It comes down to this. Get rid of all your agent.md files. Stop using skills. This model is so smart that I found basically all the previous commands I was giving in my agent.md file were taken care of, didn't

5:53matter anymore, and skills were only slowing this down and eating tokens. This model is so good at figuring out what tools what it needs to use that you don't really need skills anymore. That's how smart it is. I think the age of agent.md files and skills are basically over. I think they were only really patches for like the weak spots in models, things the model couldn't figure

6:17out or things the model was screwing up. The model doesn't really screw anything up anymore. So, you really don't need to give it specialized instructions. When a model is smarter than humans, why would humans need to give it instructions? Everything you add to your agent.md file and everything you add in skills or anything like that only adds to bloat in your context. All your agent.md file rules and all of your skills get loaded with every single prompt. So, the less you have, the lighter it becomes, the less tokens it eats, and because the model is just so smart at its core now, you really don't need any of them. All

6:53the other YouTubers and content creators that give you this massive list of rule files and skills you need to use, they're just doing that to get you to click and watch. The model is smart enough now where I think the age of rules and skills are done. I think there are small exceptions here. If you come up with very specialized workflows that are particular to you, like right now I'm building this game and there's a very specific workflow I use for 3D modeling. You could build a skill for that, but again, the smarter the models get, the less you need those cuz it'll just remember those things in its

7:27memory. So, get rid of your agent.md file, get rid of a vast majority of your skills. The model's smart enough, it'll lighten the load and make it much quicker and smarter. Tip number four is they clearly, for the first time ever, trained this model on 3D modeling. It is by far and away, not even close, dominates all the competition, incredible at 3D modeling. And if you

7:51haven't done yet, you need to do it. Just a quick example before I show you exactly how to do it. This is a game I'm building. There's a ton of 3D elements in here. It designed all of it themselves, all the buildings, the characters, the graphics, it designed it itself. I didn't have to use any

8:06third-party tools or anything like that. It was just all designed with one prompt, this game. Building 3D models and building games is like the most fun thing ever to do with AI. If you haven't done it yet, you need to do it. The way I would take advantage of all of this is by using Blender, which is an open-source 3D modeling library, and Unity, which has an amazing CLI. Unity is a free game engine you can use to build your games. Now, what you do to get the absolute best results is start a project in Codex, and then go, "Hey, I want you to build a game in Unity. I

8:39want you to build assets with Blender." And your process for building these models is this. Use your image generation to build concepts of what you want the 3D models to look like. You can see that right here. Then use those concepts you generate to actually build the 3D models in Blender, and then put them into Unity. This process is flawless. This process has given me by far the best results ever for 3D modeling and game building with AI. I mean, the results are stunning of what it's capable of. So, if you want to get the most out of this model, you need to be doing 3D modeling, build small games,

9:17build cool demos, just use this functionality, cuz I promise you'll be blown away. Use Blender, Unity, and then have Astra generate images and put that into Blender. I promise it'll be the most fun you have with AI, and it'll absolutely blow your mind. Next up is using a second brain, and this is going to help you conserve on tokens as well and get better results. So, Astra on high to max to ultra is so smart, is able to burn so many tokens, think of so many things at once. What you want to be doing is connecting it to a second brain so that you can have it write down its

9:53thoughts as it goes and go back and revisit them with cheaper models. What I mean by that is this. So, I have this second brain which is basically a Kanban board in Notion. Notion's completely free. You can build as many of these as you want. also use Linear. Linear is great at this, too. I kind of use both. But, this is a Kanban board I have for the video game I'm building, the shooting game. And what I did was I had it plan. So, I had it go in high mode and I said, "Hey, plan this game out for me." And then I said, "Every idea you

10:21come up with, add it to our second brain in Notion." And as you can see, it came up with all these ideas. There's something like 25 or 30 different ideas in here it came up with. Did it all on high. It's all saved in here. It all has like really intense detail on each one. And then what I do is I go back in, I go on low reasoning level, and then I say, "Hey, loop through our entire Notion board and just take care of every ticket and build out every piece of functionality." And it just loops through the entire thing and is able to build it all out really well. And it

10:53saves tokens because it's doing it on low. So, you're doing many things here by using a second brain. You're getting more done because it's able to save every single idea comes up with to this board. But, you're also saving tons of tokens because now you can do execution on low and it still remembers everything the high model came up with. You get way more done, you get it done faster, and you save tons of tokens. You need to set up this second brain. If you're doing this purely for the second brain, Linear works really well. If you want to take advantage of all the other functionality

11:26in Notion, Notion works really well for it, too. Notion's completely free. But, when you set up this second brain, you get way more done. You're going to save tokens. You need to be doing this. This will help you get way more out of the model and save a lot of money. The sixth tip I have for getting the most out of this is using the remote mode in ChatGPT desktop the right way. So, here's a downside of Astra, if you can call this a downside, is it is like the most thorough model of all time. Everything it builds, it tests to an absolutely absurd level. I'll have it build like a

11:58new weapon in my game and it will spend 45 minutes just testing that weapon every single possible way it can inside the game. Here's the downside. Because the testing is so good, because the testing is so thorough, it's just constantly using my computer and doing things on my computer at all times, which makes it hard for me to do other things on my computer, right? If the game's constantly popping up and being tested, I can't do other things. So, now more than ever, it is absolutely critical you use the remote functionality and you choose one of your computers. If you have multiple, you choose one of your computers to be like

12:34your testing computer where all your code lives and everything gets tested. So, this Mac Studio we're on right now where I'm filming this video, this is where I remote into from all my other devices, right? So, I have my Omachi laptop, I have my iPhone, I have my iPad. I do vibe coding on all of those, but I have them all remote into this Mac Studio computer. What that allows me to do is I can work and give prompts from all my other devices and all the code gets written and tested on this Mac Studio. So, now testing doesn't distract me. I can fire off prompts from all my

13:08devices and it all gets tested on this desktop. And the beauty is because I'm using a desktop to do this, it never gets turned off, it never goes into sleep mode. It can just test 24/7 around the clock. So, what you want to do again is think about how you're going to do remote. Choose a desktop computer if you have one. Could be a Mac mini, could be anything that's just plugged into the wall and always on, and you have it as your main computer, then you remote into that from all your other devices. To set up remote very easy, click on your name, you go settings, you go to connections,

13:40and then from here you can say control this Mac or control your computer from whatever your desktop is, and then add in all your other devices. You will be able to remote in, control and all the testing cuz it is the best model at testing ever. It'll test on this computer, then you'll never get distracted and you can write code on all your other devices. The last tip I'm going to give you here is you need to, because this model is so smart, be asking more questions than prompts you're giving. Here's what I mean by that. I am constantly asking, we talked about this a little bit earlier, "What

14:12are my blind spots? What haven't I considered yet? What can we do next that you recommend?" Because this model is so incredible at coming up with novel concepts and novel ideas, I don't like it when I come up with next steps. I want the model to come up with next steps for me cuz it's going to come up with way better ideas than me. It's going to be able to come up with things I never thought of. It's going to be able to check all my blind spots. I find that when I say, "Hey, what should we do next?" rather than me telling it what to

14:40do next, we get way better results, we move way faster, and the app just progresses way better. So, here's my challenge to you when you're using it next. Don't prompt it. Make everything come from you asking, "What should we do next?" and then you approve its idea. Never say, "Hey, let's do this next." It also makes it more fun where you go on

14:59this like exploration of the model. You're kind of exploring with it. You're kind It's almost like a psychedelic experience where you're just like, "Hey, what should we do? What do you think we should do next?" and you're exploring and coming up with new ideas and brainstorming and being way more creative, which I think is just way more fun of a way to use AI overall. So, my challenge to you again is this. Ask way

15:20more questions than prompts you give. Constantly say, "Hey, what are my blind spots?" Constantly say, "Hey, what do you think we should do next?" And constantly ask, "Hey, what's the highest leverage action we can take at the moment?" If you do that in 95% of the prompts you send are that, I promise you get way better results and you'll just have way more fun using this model. I truly believe we have entered the AGI era. I truly believe this is like a step gain. Like we had like the Opus 4 or 5 moment a year ago. I believe this is a way bigger moment than even that. This

15:50is the Astra 6 AGI moment. Take all these tips I just gave you, put them in action. I promise your mind's going to be blown by what this model is capable of.
