## Summary

A CITIC Securities research report notes that institutions such as NVIDIA and Stanford are exploring the use of GPT-6 Astra for robot control, leveraging its visual understanding, spatial reasoning, and task planning capabilities to reduce reliance on specialized policy training. Astra has shown good generalization on embodied task datasets. CITIC Securities believes that in the near term, general-purpose models are more likely to divide and coordinate work with specialized models such as VLA and WAM, and that general-purpose models entering the embodied task field in 2027 will become the AI industry's next investment direction.
