Nerf test

Has your GPT-6 Astra been nerfed?

Switch to GPT-6 Astra, start a new chat, and send it the prompts below one at a time. Then compare each result: compare your output with the two reference samples.

This is a playful output comparison, not a validated diagnostic. The animation samples come from different models, not a before-and-after test. A model’s self-reported cutoff cannot identify its model or prove a quality change.

01Draw a pelican riding a bicycle

Create an HTML file with a 2D SVG animation of a pelican riding a bicycle. You do not need any tests, and there are no restrictions.
