OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra, claiming AGI era with advanced capabilities · 8 sources tracked

OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Astra, its most capable model to date, which has achieved a critical level of cybersecurity capability. The model is rolling out to various user tiers and through the OpenAI API, priced competitively with Anthropic's Fable 5.1. GPT-6 Astra demonstrates strong performance across benchmarks, particularly in security tasks and long-context processing, though it is noted to be slightly behind Fable 5.1 in some reasoning benchmarks and lags behind Meta's Muse Spark 1.3 on the Intelligence Index. OpenAI's announcement has generated significant excitement and debate, with some hailing it as the beginning of the AGI era. AI
