GPT-6 Astra Is Here—and OpenAI Thinks It May Kick Off the AGI Era
OpenAI has announced the release of GPT-6 Astra, a new AI model capable of advanced computer navigation and task automation. Executives suggest this model marks a significant step toward achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Why it matters
The release represents a major milestone in AI capability, potentially shifting the landscape of human-computer interaction and intensifying competition among AI developers.
It plans to make GPT-6 Astra available to paid customers in the coming days, starting with enterprise clients in its Daybreak early access program, followed by ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Business plan subscribers. OpenAI did not say whether GPT-6 Astra will be available to free users of ChatGPT.
In a press briefing with reporters, OpenAI executives made it clear that they feel very confident about the company’s latest AI model. President and cofounder Greg Brockman says he personally believes the world is now in the era of artificial general intelligence, or AI systems that are generally smarter than humans.
