OpenAI Declares AGI Arrival With GPT-6 Astra, but Researchers Push Back
At the launch event for GPT-6 Astra, OpenAI president Greg Brockman claimed the company's new model marks the start of the 'AGI era,' referencing systems capable of matching or exceeding human performance across nearly all cognitive tasks. Independent AI researchers dispute this framing, arguing that Astra's strong benchmark scores do not constitute proof that artificial general intelligence has actually been achieved.
