GPT-6 Astra Just Broke a Long-Standing Complexity Bound GPT-6 Astra reduced a competitive programming problem from O(np(n)) to O(n² polylog n), far beyond what contestants had long considered optimal. The bigger shift is that frontier models are now producing algorithms whose mathematics can take experts significant time to unpack. Zhihu contributor chenzhe, who published the original roundup, says the change became clear this year. During verification for the highly difficult CCPC Final, GPT Pro quickly solved all 13 problems, while even top human teams completed only 7 to 9 in competition.
