- The post argues that OpenAI may be closer to AGI because its next model, Astra, reportedly produced 10 new results in mathematics and theoretical computer science.
- The author links that to a Level 4 “Innovator” framing: models that can start generating genuinely new knowledge rather than only solving known tasks.
- The attached image shows an “Stages of Artificial Intelligence” ladder, from chatbots and reasoners up to agents, innovators, and organizations.
