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.

When I started noticing neurodiversity in myself, I began paying closer attention to people I suspected might be neurodivergent too, not to label them, but to understand how they work.

Patterns, Interests, Quirks

I started watching for:

• Recurring patterns of behavior

• Intense or unusual interests

• Distinct ways of working

None of these are a diagnosis on their own.

Not Alone

At the same time, I’ve met quite a few neurodivergent people with rich special interests. It’s quietly liberating to realize I’m not the only one.

The VP’s Quiet Hours

In my first week at a new job, I sat with a vice president who described how they like to work. They tend to log back on after they get home, and often on Sunday evenings.

Their reasons were simple:

• It’s less noisy

• It’s less distracting

• Getting ahead reduces their anxiety

Same Pattern, Different Desk

I do something similar. Once dinner is done and the kids are asleep, I’ll often reopen the laptop to close out loose ends.

Why I Notice

I’m not studying people for its own sake. I’m trying to figure out how to work with them well.

Some people may never identify as neurodivergent. But if I can recognize certain patterns:

• How they focus

• When they need quiet

• What helps them stay ahead of anxiety

I’m better able to collaborate with them instead of working against how their brain actually operates.
