  • OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra on Thursday, describing it as a model that can perform any task on a computer and operates four times faster than the world Excel champion.
  • OpenAI chief Greg Brockman said his personal version of artificial general intelligence would view the launch as the moment machines surpassed humanity in intelligence.
  • The model will roll out over the next few days, although its reported lead does not appear across every benchmark.

OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra with a claim that reaches far beyond another software launch: Greg Brockman says the model could mark the moment machines overtook humans in intelligence.

Brockman, who has taken over OpenAI’s day-to-day leadership from Sam Altman, presented the new model on Thursday evening. He described the launch as the point at which humanity was surpassed by machines, according to his “personal version of AGI,” or artificial general intelligence.

Astra can perform any task on a computer and works four times faster than the world champion in Excel, OpenAI says. The model will roll out over the next few days.

The scale of the advance is not obvious in every measurement of the new system. Even so, the results Astra has achieved are described as striking, leaving the launch balanced between a sweeping claim about machine intelligence and more uneven performance across benchmarks.

The launch will later be seen as the moment when humanity was surpassed by machines in intelligence.
