I see that Muse Spark 1.3 (max) beats GPT-6 Astra on some benchmarks: Test: Muse Spark 1.3 / GPT 6 Astra DeepSWE v1.1: 75.4% / 74.1% AutomationBench: 49.4% / 41.4% Is that enough to bring this discussion down to earth again?

The DeepSWE one is interesting. Even Gemini 3.8 Flash is only 0.5% behind Astra. Maybe DeepSWE is saturated at 75%.

I think they embargoed the news, and then they failed to put up their own blog post synchronized to the scheduled news releases, probably because of the outages they're having today. Reuters announced at 2.03pm and at 2.40pm still no blog post. All the news articles say that OpenAI announced it in a blog post, of course. All the love to the folks at OpenAI scrambling to get this out right now! Edit: HN user codergaut…

Deeply funny that one of their examples in the video is changing a background colour on Google Slides

Hah! I also found most of those videos showing off mostly useless and not that impressive…

Would you mind posting that code to github? I'm curious about the complexity you're describing. If not, no worries!

Sure, why not: https://github.com/sergiocorreia/overengineered-rand-mcnally The original script was mostly very simple python: 1. Download some public PDFs. 2. Have a double for-loop (over PDFs and pages within PDF), 3. Use a library to call gemini-3.7-flash and ask it to run some OCR 4. Save JSON outputs, save a csv with results, validate with some Stata code New code folder was 189 files. Just the PDF download fold…

It also has to do something naughty, preferably in a menacing swarm.

Honestly I find these cavalier statements to be in incredibly poor taste. Unless you are completely blind it's obvious that AI is the most significant piece of technology invented since the Atomic Bomb and could very well be the most important thing ever built by Humans full stop. This kind of dismissive attitude is childish and will likely lead to incredibly bad outcomes for humanity.

OK it's official now https://twitter.com/openai/status/2095595741528125780 And the blog post is up: https://openai.com/index/gpt-6-astra/

Hard to fathom a blog entry returning 500 errors in 2026.

Don't know if you're referring to the headline or the body (which is paywalled). The current headline reads "OpenAI says it has overtaken Anthropic with its latest AI model". Which makes me wonder whether FT itself changed a headline along the lines of what you wrote in the past few minutes?

Apparently Greg Brockman said that as far as he's concerned it may be AGI, or something along those lines. OTOH OpenAI have their own meaningless definition of AGI as "able to do most commercially valuable work" or somesuch, which I'm sure is not true, and is also not what I'd call AGI. If it can't learn for itself, then it's certainly not AGI. The biggest significance of anyone at OpenAI calling it AGI is their cont…

Anyone can call anything AGI to be honest, which is why I don't take any large AI company's word for this, cause they just don't define AGI
