This month, the industry leader, OpenAI, took a major step toward making agents mainstream with the launch of GPT-6 Astra. Here’s what it can do and why, at least one part of it, might be dangerous as some declare it AGI. Astra’s launch hinged on a demo video that showed the model in action. In the video, a cast of people stepped into a room and interacted with a screen simply by speaking to Astra using normal voice commands. AGI is such a contested term, and the more these models advance, the less clarity we have. During the presentation, a man turned a blank canvas into a 2D drawing of a rocket ship. After several iterations, he told Astra to take the drawing and transform it into a 3D model in Blender, which it did with relative ease.
