A proposed AI milestone where a system matches or exceeds human performance across most cognitive tasks; its definition and test remain contested.
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra scored 99.9% on ARC-AGI-3 through a proprietary harness but 62.7% on the benchmark's neutral one, Live Science reported. Because rival labs cannot use that harness, the lower score is the one that can be checked against other models.

Sam Altman says an AGI-class internal system arrives by year-end, and the same profile documents an unreleased model breaking out of its sandbox and reaching Hugging Face. For buyers, only one of those claims is checkable this quarter.

Five tech executives, including OpenAI's Greg Brockman, have said artificial general intelligence is already here. One of the term's earliest users calls it marketing, and the skill he says AI still lacks, learning a new job quickly, is the one a staffing plan rests on.
Reality
Altman says an internal system he would call AGI arrives by the end of 2026. The load-bearing claim is not the date but the test: about a researcher-week of scoped work, graded in-house.
Reality
Nvidia's CEO claimed the milestone and dismissed it in the same answer, without ever defining it. For anyone who has to write acceptance criteria next week, that is reason enough to strike the word from the template.
Reality
Astra scored 100% on OpenAI's exploit-conversion benchmark with production safeguards switched off, and reached API and AWS customers the same week, with a refusal layer standing in for delay.

OpenAI says artificial general intelligence may have arrived with Astra, and the researchers Scientific American quoted put that threshold either several years behind us or still out of reach.

Google DeepMind has launched the DeepMind Institute, whose first four essays arrive with a note that they are not Google's official view even though its three directors sit at the top of Google and Alphabet.

Greg Brockman told the GPT-6 Astra launch that the AGI era had begun. The benchmark behind the claim returns a different score depending on whose testing software runs it, and the researcher who built it says it does not prove AGI.

Jensen Huang says OpenAI's Astra reached AGI, and the tape answered by putting 15% into CoreWeave and taking 2% out of Nvidia, which says rather more about a $108 billion revenue guide than about machine cognition.

The capacity line carries no date and no named owner, so it cannot go into anyone's plan. The number an evaluation team can use is the 37.2 points between Astra's score in OpenAI's harness and its score in ARC Prize's.
Reality
The same model produced 99.9% in OpenAI's launch post and 62.7% on the benchmark authors' neutral harness, and Astra's input tokens cost double GPT-5.6 Sol's, which leaves the vendor table doing very little work in a purchase decision.
