Codex with GPT-6 Astra Ultra autonomously spun up multiple agents from brief user frameworks
Ethan Mollick recounts that when he prompted Codex with GPT-6 Astra Ultra to brainstorm and evaluate post ideas, the AI spun up three agents on its own. When he sketched three teams in a few sentences, it generated thirteen agents, illustrating how selecting Ultra mode allowed the model to delegate with minimal human organizing beyond providing a framework.

the AI spun up three agents. When I sketched three teams in a few sentences (brainstormers, researchers, and a panel of readers), I got thirteen. Notice how little organizing I had to do. Selecting Ultra mode tells the model it can delegate, and I provided a framework, but the rest was up to the AI.
