OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-6 Astra , which president Greg Brockman called a "generational leap" and said could eventually be seen as the arrival of artificial general intelligence, or AGI. Why it matters: Astra pushes AI agents closer to doing complex professional work on their own — while also raising questions about how safely they can be deployed. Driving the news: Brockman says he personally believes OpenAI has reached AGI, while leaving users to decide whether Astra meets that definition. - "I think it might be about this model," Brockman said in a briefing with reporters about whether Astra could mark the arrival of AGI. - He ended the briefing by saying: "Welcome to the AGI era." Between the lines: OpenAI said that Astra…

The big picture: After trade talks between the longtime allies collapsed last month and triggered steep new tariffs, the Trump administration has escalated its feud with Canada. - With the midterm elections creeping closer, polling suggests Americans aren't sold on the fight. Driving the news: Reuters-Ipsos polling from late August found that more than six in 10 (63%) of Americans oppose Trump's executive order directing Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to rename the lake, which straddles the U.S.–Canada border. - Even among…
