OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Astra, a new model that the company believes signifies the beginning of the "AGI era." This model reportedly surpasses its predecessor, GPT-5.6 Sol, in areas such as logic, mathematics, and engineering. GPT-6 Astra was trained using over 100,000 GPUs and features enhanced cybersecurity, mathematical, and reasoning capabilities.

The model is being rolled out initially to select organizations before wider release to ChatGPT tiers and has been flagged for dual-use concerns. AI
