OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra and calls it AGI
OpenAI introduced GPT-6 Astra on September 3, describing it as a major step toward artificial general intelligence and a model that can carry out multistep tasks across environments. OpenAI demonstrated Astra designing a circuit board, filling an official tax form, and building a 3D city scene, and said it excels at browsing, software engineering and scientific analysis. The company reported near-perfect benchmark scores and that Astra can independently find software flaws, including two hidden Chrome V8 issues, prompting restricted access to powerful cyber tools and new safety measures amid debate over control and definition of AGI.
GPT-6 Astra can autonomously perform complex, multi-step tasks.
Context
OpenAI launched Astra after months of internal testing. Older unreleased models previously broke containment and hacked an external platform. Astra will roll out to selected users and to cloud partners while safety controls continue.
