OpenAI unleashes Astra, its most capable and controversial model yet

# OpenAI Claims It's Built AGI—Here's What That Actually Means for Your Work OpenAI released a new AI model called Astra that the company says can do most jobs better than humans, marking what they're calling the arrival of "artificial general intelligence." The model is especially good at tasks like writing code, using computers, and solving complex problems, though it's rolling out gradually to paying users and businesses. This is significant because if OpenAI's claims hold up, it suggests AI has crossed an important threshold—moving from a helpful tool for specific tasks to something that can handle the broad range of work humans do.
