OpenAI’s next big AI model has ‘entered the AGI era’

OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, which the company describes as a major advance in AI capabilities for fields like cybersecurity, software engineering, and science. It's the first OpenAI model to meet the company's "critical cybersecurity capability threshold," meaning it has powerful abilities to interact with computer systems, though OpenAI states it has safeguards to prevent misuse like hacking into rival companies' systems.
