OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra

Welcome back, Superhuman. We may have just entered the age of AGI (the period where AI finally exceeds human intelligence). That’s not our prediction. It’s a quote from OpenAI’s president, based on how powerful the lab’s latest GPT-6 Astra model is. We’ve shared some of the best use cases below.

Today: Google Workspace gets voice control, how to let Claude complete tasks on your computer, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

1. OpenAI says we’ve entered the AGI era with its latest model: OpenAI’s president, Greg Brockman, says the lab’s GPT-6 Astra model represents a “generational leap” in capabilities, and its release could mark the moment AI starts to match and exceed human reasoning. The model is being rolled out slowly to address any cyber security concerns, but should be generally available in the coming days. Learn the best practices for prompting Astra.

However, many users are claiming they have no access to the model yet. OpenAI confirmed the issue and said paid users will get limit resets for each day they don’t have access to Astra.

3. Google rolls out voice control for Workspace, plus a new weather model: Google Workspace now offers voice-activated features across Gmail, Docs, and Keep, letting you search for emails, draft documents, or take notes by talking. The tech leaders also released WeatherNext 3, its flagship weather model that pulls real-time satellite data to offer hyper-local forecasts.
