Frontier models perform better in Attio’s agent harness.

We gave GPT-6 Astra the same job twice: analyze 100 sales calls and draft the follow-ups, once in Ask Attio and once in ChatGPT.

Ask Attio finished in 4 minutes 49 seconds. ChatGPT took 26 minutes 11 seconds, about 5.4 times as long.

The most ambitious GTM work requires more than frontier intelligence. It requires architecture that can put that intelligence to work at scale.

Getting bored of the gym

I’ve been doing martial arts for some time now, jiu-jitsu in particular.
I got bored of going to the gym. I was doing the bare minimum, and I wasn’t being held accountable. Maybe I’ll get a personal trainer in the future.

Why some of us need to be told what to do

For some of us neurodivergents, we need to be told what to do despite not liking it.

The head coach as personal trainer

In jiu-jitsu, having a head coach guide me on the drills is like having a “personal trainer” holding me accountable. There’s no time to slouch like I would when I go to the gym by myself.

Sparring: compete, learn, grow

Then, at the end of the martial arts session, we have an opportunity to have 1:1 sparring sessions with our fellow martial artists. A chance to:

• Compete

• Learn and

• Grow

Learn not to panic under pressure

In pressure moments during the matches, I’ve learned not to panic, and that keeping calm and controlling my breathing are super important to figuring out a way to get out of trouble in these pressure situations, which is what I found challenging when I was progressing in my career.

Drills build familiarity

The panic came from not knowing what to do in certain pressure situations. With martial arts, sports, and anything else, the regular drills and practice help build that familiarity and confidence over time to handle those situations.

The calm I want at work

It amazes me how calm and measured the experienced martial artists are under pressure. Adopting that mindset at work is the goal.
