# Astra · max stick-in-wheel pelican derivative animation

The source prompt explicitly says Astra Max and requests a cycling pelican to jam its wheel with an OpenAI-labelled stick, fall and speak. This is a documented derivative, not a classic-prompt capability score. Only Astra is retained, without inventing a GPT version. The silent 18.067-second recording fully decodes; the cover is its real seven-second frame. The author reports an earlier removed post, so the date is this verifiable posting, not an unknown original generation date. Model and attribution remain original source labels, not independently authenticated. Dates are verifiable UTC public posting dates, not inferred generation dates. Style and a single output do not establish general capability. No Play demo or Benchmark is added.
