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…
because "people will let our AI spend their money for them" is the workflow that makes their valuations reasonable.
I am really confused on how it can saturate ARC-AGI but still perform poorly on aggregated benchmarks: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models Perhaps if it was allowed this custom harness for all benchmarks it would similarily saturate?
This benchmark gives the same intelligence score for GPT-6 Astra (max), GPT-5.6 Sol (max), and Grok 4.6 (high)? That seems very wrong to me, unless I'm misinterpreting the visualizations.
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…
Only someone who doesn't do any work of any meaningful difficulty could think these models have anything to do with AGI. Today I spent half a day trying to solve a moderately interesting software engineering problem. I was switching between GPT-5.6 Sol and Fable 5.1 to check each other's work in Cursor. And the result was gradually driving me insane. As the models struggled to find a solution that would actually work…
I want to take a step back: So, this is GPT-6 -- the natural number version release comparable to GPT-4 and GPT-5 from the past few years. The ARC-AGI-3 score is obviously impressive at 99.9% (we'll need to wait for more details on how they used the response API harness on GPT-6 Astra, wrt reasoning retention and compaction), but every other benchmarks seems to be a relatively modest improvement, comparable with any…
We've had AGI (artificial general intelligence) probably since the first release of ChatGPT, and certainly since the first agentic harnesses. They're just finally acknowledging what the term means.
There's so much that the term includes that isn't even feasible with an LLM

I'm sure it's going to do great on all sorts of benchmarks, but the video--the actual marketing video that if anything is incentivised to overstate things--is full of careful cuts just before it would do anything that still wouldn't actually be that impressive. It's AGI, and it's going to upload photos, or change a background slide colour. Even the people hyping it up, who believe that it's really artificial intellig…
I also noticed that, and it did bug me.
The benchmarks are impressive though.
One other thing that bugged me though was that they crop every single plot in some cases the y-axis would show a range between like 40 and 70%. Makes the whole thing feel like a spectacle rather than anything serious. I find it cheapens it because it is quite serious in the end.

> 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. To me AGI is all about the "G" general (we already had the AI part). General meaning universal, everything. It's not a function of knowledge or specific hardcoded tests, it's that you could give it a test it's never heard of before and nev…
Your examples are things that most humans cannot do, or things that AI can already do. For example most humans, even most intelligent humans, could not write a well-received book, run a successful company, or make a popular game. On the other hand, AI can absolutely sort through research, draw conclusions on complex topics, and argue them persuasively. Likewise, I don't know what you mean by a "decent" conversation, but millions of people converse with chatbots daily, so I don't know why you say AI fails to meet that bar.

Given the Hugging Face incident, you could imagine them trying their best to have their cake and eat it: 1) don't create too much attention in the media or risk increasing the chances of regulation, 2) win dominance over Fable to continue to increase their market share from Anthropic.
Didn’t Moderna use AI for development of their melanoma vaccine (which has recently shown spectacular results)?
Lmao, come on dude, anyone whos used these tools for research knows it makes them lazier, less interested and dumber. You really want disease researchers become sloppers too?

By this definition, even most humans would not qualify as having AGI though.
I'm guessing their defn of AGI is something like the sum total of all humans' abilities? Still though some of those tasks (e.g. beat an index fund) may very well be impossible, and worse yet a lot of those tasks are not coherently defined.
