Fireship · youtube · 2026-09-05
Fireship published a hands-on video on OpenAI's newly announced GPT-6 Astra, which OpenAI claims is AGI. The video scrutinizes whether its coding and reasoning performance actually warrants the AGI label or is mostly marketing language. The video is sponsored by CodeRabbit Security (10 free code scans).
