Frontier models perform better in Attio’s agent harness.
We gave GPT-6 Astra the same job twice: analyze 100 sales calls and draft the follow-ups, once in Ask Attio and once in ChatGPT.
Ask Attio finished in 4 minutes 49 seconds. ChatGPT took 26 minutes 11 seconds, about 5.4 times as long.
The most ambitious GTM work requires more than frontier intelligence. It requires architecture that can put that intelligence to work at scale.

Brooklyn building collapse: rescuers keep digging as death toll rises
Rescue crews in Flatbush, Brooklyn continued searching for survivors after a building collapse that has killed at least eight people and injured 17, according to reporting from the scene. The operation is moving between heavy equipment work and careful hand searches as responders try to avoid secondary collapses.
Investigators will now shift from immediate rescue to hard questions: what failed, whether there were code violations, and if residents had raised prior warnings.

Deadly Egypt train collision near Cairo prompts investigation order
Two trains collided in al-Ayyat, roughly 50km south of Cairo, killing at least seven people and injuring at least 125, according to reporting from Egypt. The crash included a derailment and triggered emergency response efforts along a busy rail corridor.
Egypt’s president ordered a prompt investigation, but this follows a familiar pattern: catastrophic rail incidents, then promises of accountability and upgrades that compete with budget realities and the complexity of modernizing old systems while keeping service running. Watch for early findings on signaling, speed control, human error, and whether prosecutions or procurement changes follow.
