Is GPT-6 Astra AGI? By Chollet's standard it still falls short on several fronts
mark_k · x · 2026-09-07
N8Programs offers a nuanced take on whether GPT-6 Astra is AGI, using Chollet's definition — AGI arrives when creating tasks easy for humans but hard for AI becomes impossible. By that bar Astra isn't there: it likely can't do long-horizon embodied tasks (making coffee, assembling IKEA furniture), can't play real-time multiplayer games like CS:GO or Overwatch, and lacks audio input, making it subhuman at many audio tasks. The author adds the standard may be slightly unfair to Astra; markk says he mostly agrees.
