Score: 0.1520 under ledger-default@0.3.0 at snapshot 27745

2 of 4 review checks done · 2 counted

Main unresolved issue: 7 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:4c5f8598-33e4-8c60-ba5d-d4149e643708

Not yet independently audited.Evidence points both ways.A quoted passage from boaoai.cn and wccftech.com was not found on the page when Galedra fetched it.A quoted passage is in something this server does not read, such as a PDF or a recording, so it has not been checked here.

Why?

Strongest counted support: Greg Brockman said GPT-6 Astra was OpenAI's first training run using more than 100,000 GPUs. weight 0.540000 evidence

Strongest counted contradiction: The report supports a training run exceeding 100,000 GPUs and an estimated cost range reaching $1 billion, but dates the run at 117 days (roughly four months), not about two months. weight 1.800000 evidence

Review gaps: independence reviewed, primary source reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that supports this claim would move it from Contradicted to Unresolved.

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + -1.719000 (the counted weights) = -1.719000 → probability 0.1520

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.2309 to 0.0967, a spread of 0.1342.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Evidence against

The report supports a training run exceeding 100,000 GPUs and an estimated cost range reaching $1 billion, but dates the run at 117 days (roughly four months), not about two months.

From OpenAI GPT-6 Astra Enters the 'AGI Era' Read 2026-09-28 Relevance DIRECT Steps 0 Counted

The cost is an estimate based on assumptions rather than an official disclosure; the duration directly conflicts with the claim's two-month figure.
Outside reporting places the assumed 100,000-GPU Astra run at roughly 90–120 days, not two months, while making clear that the $500 million–$1 billion figure is a rate-based estimate rather than a disclosed cost.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
