Crypto Cellar Research reports that GPT-Astra cracked the previously unbroken 82-letter German Army Enigma transmission known as MVUEH, sent to the SS-Totenkopf Division on July 10, 1941. The message, publicly available since 2005 but never decoded, was solved autonomously by Astra, which wrote its own Python and C++ Enigma simulation and Bombe tools and correctly guessed a probable plaintext clue referencing the town Rosenow.

Developer Prinz used an AI system called GPT-6 Astra to break a 108-year-old encrypted German WWI radio message, one of 50 unsolved ciphers listed on the German site Scienceblogs.de. The AI identified 'TRUPPENVERSCHIEBUNG' as the keyword for the ADFGVX cipher, revealing a warning about a British cruiser arriving at Sevastopol followed by an Allied squadron. Astra cross-checked the decoded date against historical naval logs, confirming HMS Canterbury's arrival in Sevastopol on November 24, 1918, closely matching the message's timeline.
