OpenAI claims we've entered the AGI era — has GPT-6 Astra really demonstrated general intelligence?

OpenAI's bold claim that artificial general intelligence has arrived hinges on a single machine's capabilities, raising a thorny question: has the company redefined AGI to fit its latest product, or have we genuinely crossed a threshold that AI researchers have debated for decades? The assertion that GPT-6 Astra possesses true general intelligence—the ability to understand and master any intellectual task—contradicts the skepticism of many leading researchers who argue the company is conflating impressive narrow capabilities with something far more fundamental. What OpenAI calls AGI, critics say, may simply be a more powerful language model, one that has succeeded brilliantly at mimicking human reasoning without actually achieving it.
