   Without the published conversation, train-of-thought and intermediate output and knowing what Astra did this is nothing but unfounded claims. In the end this could have been a web search, downloading an existing enigma simulator and trying out some rather obvious things. Also what does "resisted resolution" even mean? Have there even been serious attempts to decipher the message? How serious?

   Also: Why should we assume Terra, GLM or any other less SOTA and less expensive model wouldn't have been able to do the same?

      Why do you think this uncracked code was so simple to solve?

      And it's very possible Terra or GLM could crack it, turn off their web access and try yourself.

         I never said this. All I said is we don't have the conversation and therefore we can't determine how easy or hard of a problem it was.

         I'm questioning why this should be labeled "Astra" breaking anything implying it required "the best" model to do it when in fact any other half-decent model might have been able to do this as well.

         EDIT: Okay seems like the actual prompt is published, just not on the same article that was linked. Maybe I'll give it a try.

            Nice try at content-free debunking though Encyclopedia Brown
