GPT-6 Astra cracks 217-year-old Napoleonic code in six hours
OpenAI's GPT-6, codenamed Astra, has reportedly deciphered a 217-year-old Napoleonic-era encrypted message in just six hours from a single prompt. The system decoded 24 rows of custom symbols from one image, revealing what appear to be lost French troop orders. The result is drawing attention as a striking demonstration of AI's growing ability to solve historical cryptography problems that resisted human experts for two centuries.
Why now: A frontier AI model solving a centuries-old cipher in hours is a striking showcase of its reasoning power, sparking debate about AI's role in historical research.
