GPT-6 Astra deciphers 217-year-old Napoleonic cipher in six hours
Original: GPT-6 Astra cracks 217-year-old Napoleonic code in six hours
OpenAI's GPT-6, nicknamed Astra, has reportedly cracked a 217-year-old Napoleonic-era cipher in just six hours from a single prompt. Working from one image, the AI solved 24 rows of custom symbols, revealing previously lost French troop orders from the Napoleonic wars. The breakthrough is drawing attention to how quickly modern AI models can solve historical cryptanalysis puzzles that resisted human codebreakers for over two centuries.
Why now: The combination of a frontier AI model solving a centuries-old historical cipher from a single image is a striking demonstration of AI capabilities that people are eager to discuss.
