Astra in Codex can ask a question and keep working while it waits for the answer
A 1,915-upvote r/singularity screenshot shows Astra noticing the user had stopped responding and triggering a system beep on the Mac to get attention. The genuinely useful detail is buried in the comments: unlike Codex with other models, which stops dead when it wants input, Astra poses the question and continues working in parallel. Commenters are unsure whether this is a Codex-wide capability that Sol can also use or Astra-specific, and at least one calls the screenshot fabricated, so treat the beep as unverified and the non-blocking question pattern as the part worth watching.
