OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra and ignites an AGI debate
On Thursday, September 3, OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra, its new flagship model, with major gains in computer use, coding, science and cybersecurity. Claims that it could mark the beginning of the AGI era—and its classification at OpenAI's highest cyber-capability tier—dominated discussion.
This story appears to be fictional. OpenAI has not released any model called GPT-6 Astra (or similar), and no such launch or AGI debate occurred on September 3 or in the surrounding period. Current flagship models remain in the GPT-4o/o1 series.
