Both the agents completed the game by winning space race while playing through screenshots, mouse and keyboard. GPT-6 Astra won at turn 372 and Opus 5.5 had its full spaceship assembled by turn 503. Opus kept it on the ground for more than 4,400 turns while its score grew. These are runs on different random maps and through different harnesses (Claude Code and Codex). This is not a ranking of the two models. We wanted to see how each agent chose when to finish, and how closely it watched the game while it automated its play.</p>
