A developer-shared clip appears to show GPT-6.1 Terra drawing Sam Altman on a desktop canvas through computer-use actions; its creator says the recording is not sped up. The demonstration makes the model’s apparent responsiveness tangible, but it includes no measured token-per-second reading and does not show whether the pace holds across longer workflows.
