User claims GPT-6 'Astra' is a step-function leap in generality, effectively AGI

A user claims the rumored GPT-6 'Astra' is a step-function breakthrough in generality: prior frontier models neared ASI on certain dimensions but struggled to connect dots across domains, while Astra excels at coherent use across multiple applications, contexts, and processes. He recommends delegating tasks you previously assumed you had to drive yourself, saying the diagnose-build-test-merge-deploy-run loop has never felt smoother. Unverified claim, not confirmed by OpenAI.
