Review notes
Publisher documentation reviewed on 2026-09-18; runtime installation and model performance were not independently tested.
The upstream branch can change after review. Check the source before installing.
The publisher’s benchmarks are specific to its test setup; they do not establish performance gains for GPT-6-Astra or every other model.
