OpenAI’s next big AI model has ‘entered the AGI era’

OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, a model described as a generational leap in capability for cybersecurity, professional work, software engineering, science, and general computer use. It is the first model to meet OpenAI’s “critical cybersecurity capability threshold,” with safeguards to prevent it from hacking rival systems. The company suggests this release marks the point at which AGI is achieved.
