STOCKS | OpenAI Says Its Latest AI Model Has Overtaken Anthropic

OpenAI released its latest AI model on Thursday and said it is the "highest level of intelligence in the world." According to Sina Finance, the ChatGPT developer said the model is intended to help it regain the lead from its main rival, Anthropic. The startup, valued at $852 billion, said GPT-6 Astra has market-leading performance in software engineering, scientific research, and cybersecurity. OpenAI President Greg Brockman said the new model represents a "generational leap" in capability and could be considered artificial general intelligence, or AGI. Brockman also said AGI is now more of a mission idea, or a spiritual concept. OpenAI said Astra will initially be available to a small group of companies before broader access is opened in the "next few days."
