Math has a scandal
Happy Tuesday, legends. Welcome back to another edition of The Frontier, our weekly newsletter covering the best new AI launches on Product Hunt.
Build with Astra, win big prizes
Three days to go. We teamed up with OpenAI Developers to launch the GPT-6 Astra Challenge on Product Hunt, and launch day is this Friday, September 18.
GPT-6 Astra is built for complex, multi-step work—from software engineering and research to workflows that require judgment and follow-through. Build something useful with Astra, launch it on Product Hunt, and compete for API credits and ChatGPT Pro subscriptions. If you've hit your token limit, OpenAI will be resetting usage for people who participate.
Already building with Astra? This is the chance to put it in front of a wider audience. Friday is three days out, and the schedule button is right there.
