According to leaks, OpenAI is preparing to release its new model, codenamed Astra. Key details include:
- Multi-Agent Collaboration: Astra is trained for long-running, complex tasks and can coordinate multiple agents to solve hard problems.
- Solved Open Problems: The model reportedly solved 10 open problems in math, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science. Fable noted that any one of these could warrant a Fields Medal.
- Self-Correction: OpenAI provided a 'reasoning walkthrough' for these problems, showing that Astra can recognize and correct its own mistakes—a strong indicator of advanced intelligence.
The leaker predicts a potential release on Thursday, August 13th.
