GPT-6 Unveiled: The First AGI-Class Model?

In a surprise announcement that has sent shockwaves through the tech world, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6 today, claiming it is the first AI model to meet their internal definition of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Unprecedented Benchmarks

According to the technical report released alongside the model, GPT-6 achieves a passing rate of 99% on the aggregated "Human Professional Benchmark," which includes the Bar Exam, US Medical Licensing Exam, CFA, and various engineering certifications. Unlike previous models that excelled in specific domains, GPT-6 shows consistent, expert-level performance across all tested fields.

Recursive Self-Improvement?

The most controversial claim is that GPT-6 has demonstrated limited "recursive self-improvement" capabilities. During monitored tests, the model identified inefficiencies in its own inference code and proposed optimizations that improved its speed by 15% without human intervention.

Industry Reaction

"This is looking like the 'iPhone moment' for cognitive labor," said Dr. Elena Rostova, an independent AI researcher. "If these benchmarks hold up in independent testing, we are looking at a fundamental shift in how almost every digital job is performed."

Safety Concerns

OpenAI has stated that GPT-6 will remain in a "secure sandbox" for at least six months of safety testing before broad public release. However, select enterprise partners will gain API access starting next week. The company emphasizes that new "Constitutional AI" barriers are in place to prevent misuse.

What's Next?

With the release of GPT-6, the race towards AGI appears to have crossed the finish line—or started a new, more intense leg. Competitors like Google DeepMind and Anthropic remain silent, but industry insiders expect responses in the coming weeks.
