Vals AI reports that GPT-6 Astra has beaten Factorio: Space Age. The expansion spans six planets and typically takes humans about 10–20× longer than base Factorio; Astra logged over 165 hours of in-game time across roughly two days of wall-clock time, highlighting long-horizon planning and automation skill.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓GPT-6 Astra cleared Factorio: Space Age, a long-horizon agentic game benchmark across six planets.
  • ✓It logged over 165 hours of in-game time in about two days of wall-clock time.
  • ✓Vals notes Space Age is roughly 10–20× harder for humans than base Factorio, making it a useful frontier capability signal.
