This is wild: OpenAI is basically declaring that AGI is here. https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/989601/o... “If we fast-forward a couple of years, and we look back and say, ‘When was it, really, that AGI was created?’ I think it’s going to be about this time, and I think it might be about this model,” OpenAI president Greg Brockman said during a Thursday press briefing. Later in the call, he added,…

Don't worry, they'll come up with a new acronym to mean really-real AI soon...

I guess this "limited set of organizations" is just the standard now. It's just incredibly deflating to see my future as a second class citizen has already come

Same. Fortunately DeepSeek keeps getting better.

Played the racing game but that was a pretty poor experience. Would have expected more specifically if it's shared on their release page.

I really wish it was called chain of instruction. Because it's definitely not thought.

What is thought?

What does 'Astra' here mean? Surely they must be referring to the Latin word. Because in another dead language of antiquity, Sanskrit, it means "weapon". Which would be a bit too on-the-nose.

It's clearly an extension of the previous naming: Luna, terra, sol

"OpenAI is pleased to announce our new model scores 85% on CreateTormentNexusBench - a >60% lead over our leading competitors!" Did someone get their "AI safety no-no list" and "Frontier features bingo card" mixed up, or did they just stop being able to tell the difference?

You joke, but a bunch of people here actually want that.

I remember when GPT-4 came out and the perceived performance upgrade seemed underwhelming for a major release compared to 3.5, especially how there were graphics going around showing the parameter size dwarfing the last model before it came out. It looked like we were past the perceivable differences from release to release that were immediately identifiable. Now the jump between 5 to 5.5 and 5.6 alone has changed how a lot of people approach AI, including me. Interested to see where it goes with 6.
