On September 3, 2026, OpenAI announced its new AI model, "GPT-6 Astra." Following this announcement, a large number of posts have appeared on social media (X) since September 3 featuring works created by having the model operate the 3DCG production software "Blender."

The submitted works span a wide variety of genres, including CG recreations of Apple Park based on still images and videos of houses generated from floor plans. The primary factor driving this attention is that requesting an AI assistant to operate the application has made high-level production more accessible.

Meanwhile, possibly due to the lower barrier to production, reports emerged on September 7 regarding a decrease in Blender's download speeds caused by a surge in access traffic.
