teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-06
An unverified leak attributed to an OpenAI insider claims the next major model after Astra (beyond updates like Astra 6.1) will be released as AGI: able to act in real time, including playing real-time games, with humanlike general understanding, expert-level performance across fields, and some capacity for recursive self-improvement.
Follow-up discussion clarified the codenames: Doug was Astra, and Bel is the model Astra helped train, now assisting with its successor. Treat as unconfirmed insider rumor.
