This is a news summary.
OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra. CEO Greg Brockman called it a 'generational leap' and suggested that it could eventually be seen as the arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Brockman personally believes that OpenAI has reached AGI, but he leaves it to users to decide whether Astra truly meets the definition of AGI.
When asked if Astra could signify the arrival of AGI, Brockman said in a press briefing, "I think this model could be that model." He concluded the briefing by saying, "Welcome to the AGI era."
OpenAI stated that Astra was developed through the largest training effort in the company's history, utilizing over 100,000 GPUs at its StarGate facility in Texas.
GPT-6 Astra will initially be available to select institutions participating in OpenAI's Daybreak Access program. It is expected to be rolled out to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise customers and API developers 'in the coming days'. [Rest of content omitted]
