While philosophers ponder AI consciousness, the models have ideas of their own.
Just hours after OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra , CEO Sam Altman was already apologizing for what he describes as a "messy rollout" after paying users expecting access to the new frontier model were left waiting. The company hailed the model as a "generational leap in capability" on Thursday and described it as the start of "the AGI era," a fuzzy and poorly defined term tech executives nevertheless i…

I got early access to GPT-6 Astra: when I say this model broke through tasks I couldn’t crack with 5.6 Sol or Fable, I mean it specifically: the ChatPRD product intelligence feature, building 3D games, the hardware hack, and a handful of one-shot coding projects I’d tried and failed on repeatedly. Listen or watch on YouTube , Spotify , or Apple Podcasts What you’ll learn: Why Astra’s computer use…
OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, its most capable model yet. President Greg Brockman says it marks the start of the "AGI era." Astra tops benchmarks in math, coding, and cybersecurity and is the first model OpenAI rates as "critical" under its safety framework. During testing, it independently found two previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities. The article GPT-6 Astra is the first model making…
“Welcome to the AGI era,” said OpenAI president Greg Brockman at the tail end of a call with reporters about the Thursday release of the company’s newest model, GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI describes AGI, or artificial general intelligence , as “highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work.” The company calls Astra its most intelligent and safest model to date, built…
