Enthusiast's test shows OpenAI GPT-6 Astra finishing Portal solo for $571 in API costs
An independent AI enthusiast known as CozyBlaze ran OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model through Valve's Portal, letting it control the game via Model Context Protocol and a modified SourcePauseTool. The model paused the game to analyze screenshots and plan moves before executing them, requiring over 3,300 tool calls and roughly 24 hours of streamed footage, condensed into a two-hour highlight video, at a stated API cost of $571.18 covered by a Codex Pro subscription.
