I gave GPT-6 Astra control of Blender, the free 3D modelling software, and asked it to build three things: a flythrough of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, the room I am sitting in right now, and a 3D model of the NEO humanoid robot embedded in a web page. You do not need to know how to code or anything about Blender to do this. Neither do I. The setup takes five minutes; the three builds took 54 hours of unattended compute and $1,771.61 in tokens. Below are the prompts, the results, and everything that broke.
