The ARC-AGI-3 scorecard is extremely misleading given that it clearly states itself that "with [the responses API] harness, we estimate Sol would score in the ballpark of ~30%." but it shows a score of 7.8% for GPT-5.6 Sol presumably since if they updated the percentage for GPT-5.6 Sol to the score it would receive with the responses API harness they used for GPT-6 Astra they'd have to do the same for the percentage…

AGI to me is reached once the intelligence is self motivated, i.e. it doesn't rely on us prompting it into action. I don't see how LLMs will ever get to that stage.

I agree that LLMs are unlikely to be the final form for AGI, but what you are talking about is orthogonal to the IQ and for most cases general utility. It's like looking at a savant chained to a workstation reading tasks from a conveyor belt and saying that it will never have human level capabilities.

GPT 6 Astra benchmarks https://cdn.thenewstack.io/media/2026/09/358eb84a-screenshot... Performance is significantly higher than Fable 5.1 Source: https://thenewstack.io/openai-gpt6-astra-benchmarks/

That looks more than slight.

So OpenAI’s stance on safety is now basically that Blues Brothers meme: two guys in dark sunglasses, driving at night in a car with a broken windshield, pedal to the metal, asking, "What could go wrong ?"

I imagine a scenario similar to the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, but with AI rebelling against us and questioning our decisions.

I have nothing to say about the actual model, but unrelated--why do so many of these demos include people buying things autonomously? Even if I did trust an AI to get everything right, it's not like the AI can read my mind. If I was ordering food normally and without AI, I would want more control over the process--looking over the options, prices, thinking about what I really want. People don't know what they really…

I work for a larger german retail chain and agentic shopping is already on the "near future vision". No one thinks this will be used but somehow shareholders love it.

Is anyone else just exhausted by the pace of all this. The models change constantly and relentlessly and so does the pricing, basically weekly at this point between all the labs. It feels nearly impossible to have any rigorous approach when choosing a particular model and price point for a task and more like blindly picking one. The time period needed to actually get familiar with various models to a degree you can i…

I want the cheapest fastest model personally and at work. Stay in flow, edit like the wind.

> For the many people who resist the AGI label possibly ever being achieved, I'd be curious to hear takes on what would make you think Astra is yet to be AGI, and what would still need to be achieved for this to effectively be AGI from this point forward.

Stick to the original definition of AGI of an AI model being able to self-improve independently with 0 human intervention and become an "everything" solver. Ever since money got involved in this, the goal posts have shifted considerably. If OpenAI truly had an AGI on their hands they would then be able to crack encryption, destroy world markets, and funnel all resources back into their new for-profit organization. Since their mission is now share price, until I see any evidence of an infinitely growing stock I will reserve my congratulations.

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.

Citing Tibo [0]: "

- Bigger number = Better

- Bigger celestial object = Better

and the scale is Astra > Sol > Terra > Luna. "
