Hi Everyone,
OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-6 Astra, which president Greg Brockman called a "generational leap" and said could eventually be seen as the arrival of artificial general intelligence, or AGI.
Why it matters: Astra pushes AI agents closer to doing complex professional work on their own — while also raising questions about how safely they can be deployed.
Driving the news: Brockman says he personally believes OpenAI has reached AGI, while leaving users to decide whether Astra meets that definition.

All I know is that if it is not AGI then we are only a small step away from achieving it.
And when Astra gets released to ChatGPT Plus users, I'll be trying as many different things as possible.
As much as I use AI, I can not even keep up with it. AGI was something they were saying could be coming in 2028 and now it appears to be here. Wow.
Are you using AI as much as you could be beyond just asking it questions?
To Our Success!
