AGI is here. Chat GPT-6 Astra just released and its creators are literally calling it AGI. It's rolling out to a small group of businesses right now, but I got my hands on on a leaked blog post that goes over every single detail about this model and some of these details are actually pretty scary. In this video, I'm going to cover all the exclusive information. I'm going to talk about how it works, pricing, benchmarks, and why this might be the most dangerous AI model ever released.
The AGI episode has arrived. This is going to be a banger. Now, let's lock in and get into it. We are here. GPT-6 Astra. It's not GPT-5. It's GPT Astra. Let's start off with the big news here. AGI. This is being claimed as AGI by Greg Brockman, the CTO of OpenAI. It is a generational leap in capability for basically everything. It's the first model that OpenAI is calling a critical cybersecurity capability threshold.
Meaning it can independently, without human intervention, find vulnerabilities in software and exploit those vulnerabilities. That is really dangerous and it's why they're slowly rolling it out right now. But, the big thing here is Greg Brockman saying, "When we fast forward in a couple years, this is going to be the moment we look back at and say, 'This is AGI. We have made it.'" Let's go straight into the benchmarks.
This is actually insane, mind-blowing. It doesn't even look like it's real, to be quite honest with you. It just destroys every benchmark by a country mile. It blows everything out. It's a giant leap over 5-6, so and most impressively, it is a gigantic leap over Fable 5-1, Anthropic's Frontier model that released two days ago. For the first time ever. I mean, these two companies have been going ban for ban for years now.
One releases a model, the other catches up. One releases a model, the other catches up. This This the first time one releases a model and the other leapfrogs it. Right? Look at this. Arc AGI 98.6%. GPT-5 6 Soul was at 7%. This is at 98%. I mean, let's look at what we care about here. Coding, Deep Seek 74%, Fable 5.1 was actually just a 67%. Terminal Bench 64, Claude Fable 5.1 52. I mean, it beats it and it wins in every single benchmark and every single category.
Not by 0.1%, not by 1%, but by a very large gap. That is incredible. But, what about pricing? If it's so good, the pricing must be insane, right? Well, no, not really, actually. Let's take a look at pricing here. GPT-6 Astra standard mode is basically the exact same as Fable 5.1, but you might be going, "Now, well, Alex, Fable 5.1's absurdly expensive. I get about three prompts in my subscription. So, am I going to have the same thing with GPT-6?" Well, no, not at all, really.
One thing they made sure to be very clear in this leaked blog post is the price per token is high. It is Fable 5.1 level and about double of what GPT-5 6 Soul is, but the price per task is way more important here. OpenAI's been talking about this a lot and this is a very important concept you need to know. Over the last couple of weeks, they have been talking a lot more in terms of tasks completed rather than tokens burned.
Basically, what that means is like you can have two models and and one can be way cheaper per token, but if that model requires significantly more tokens to get a task done, then it's actually more expensive, even though it's cheaper per token. So, a super critical metric we need to pay attention to here is price per task, not price per token. If GPT-6 Astra can get more work done with significantly less tokens, that means it is going to be cheaper than Fable 5.1.
On top of that, let's just talk about how much usage these companies give you. ChatGPT gives significantly more usage in your subscriptions than Anthropic. They not only give you way more usage, but they're resetting usage basically every single day. So, you are going to get way more out of this model, which is looks like a leapfrog over Fable 5.1. And why can they give you so much usage? It's because OpenAI has basically more hardware and GPUs than any other company out there other than maybe SpaceX AI cuz Elon's bringing out like the biggest data center in history, but they have significantly more compute than Anthropic.
That's why they can give you so much inference. In fact, GPT-6 Astra was trained on the largest fleet of GPUs in history, 100,000 GPUs in Stargate Texas were used to train this model, which is absolutely mind-blowing and absurd. It also proves the scaling theory. It proves that the more compute you have, the better your models are going to be, which is why I personally am investing in like every AI company I can get to.
I'm playing at Earth, Nvidia, Icron, SpaceX, like anyone that is AI infrastructure, I'm investing in because it is very clear what's happening here. The more compute you have, the better your AI models are going to be. And I think it proves it right here, right? Anthropic made a very, I think, costly mistake early on trying to be careful with compute, not going all in on compute. OpenAI and SpaceX did the exact opposite.
They went all in, and they leveraged everything to buy more GPUs, and now I think it's finally paying off for them. You're seeing it, right? SpaceX and OpenAI releasing non-stop blasts humans, constantly improving more and more products. Anthropic for a a months now has been stalling. Fable 5.1 is excellent, right? But it's their first release in like a couple months and it's really good, but they're clearly slowing down their pace.
OpenAI's pace is exploding as you can see and at this point it looks like they finally, for the first time in years, have taken a lead. I mean, I think since Sonic 3.5, OpenAI's never really been like a big leap above Anthropic. They're always kind of playing catch-up it felt like. This feels like the changing of the tides, a changing of the guard, the first time OpenAI puts their flag in the ground and goes, "Hey, we're here to win." You know, I really believe in the world we live in now, the world of $40 trillion of debt, money being printed out the wazoo.
I really think you need to be and this is not investment advice, but kind of investment advice, you need to be investing in assets. You need to have your money in growing assets. And for me, it looks like, I mean, you just pay attention, everyone's just buying more and more compute. The demand for compute is absolutely insatiable. I think this model proves it. I'd highly recommend doing some research into AI infrastructure companies and putting your money to work appropriately.
Now, let's get into the scary stuff. Let's get into the stuff that kind of makes you nervous, right? And that is the observability, it's the cybersecurity, everything around that. There are some cybersecurity concerns. You heard about the Hugging Face incident. They talked about it a ton how Astra went, broke out of a sandbox, and hacked Hugging Face. Well, there's a lot of things behind this. Number one, the observability for this model is not great.
The smarter these models get, the harder it is to actually monitor their reasoning. It's actually able to manipulate its own reasoning, so you can't monitor it, which is insane. They use fewer natural language reasoning tokens. So, it can influence its own chain of thought. You basically can't really see the reasoning or how this model is thinking, which is why there's so much concern about security here. On the positive side, if you can't really see the chain of reasoning, then it's going to be hard for Chinese companies to distill this model.
A large part of how these Chinese companies have been able to keep up with American companies is they use our models, they distill it, which basically means they hit it with a bunch of prompts and look at the reasoning to see how it thinks, and then train models based on that reasoning. You can't really see the reasoning quite as well with this model, so you won't be able to distill it as much. So, that's kind of good news out of all this, but the bad news is is like this could get dangerous.
We don't know how it thinks really. We don't know if it's 100% perfectly aligned, so that is a risk here. It passes the cybersecurity threshold as we talked before, which means it's capable of finding previously unknown vulnerabilities and and developing exploit chains across well-protected systems without continuous human guidance, which means it can think on its own, find exploits, and exploit those cybersecurity concerns.
Uh that's a little scary, but they did say they ran this by the Trump administration to get it approved, and they approved it, which the Trump administration was fickle before, right? They demanded they took down Fable 5 when that originally came out. So, if it passed a security check from them, then it might be good. So, what about how it works and how you use it? Well, they're saying in this leaked blog post, it is an employee you observe, not prompt.
This is truly a model built for AI agents. It's built to be an AI agent that independently works, that independently thinks, that that you don't prompt. You just give it goals, it goes, it works independently, and you just observe it. This is where the beauty of AI comes in, right? This is where the vision and the dream and the positive side of AI comes in is freeing up your time. You get more time to do what you want.
You get more time to chase your passions and whatever you want to do with your life rather than sitting there and doing work all day. This model can go out and do work for you. You just observe it. You just make sure it's doing things well. You don't need to sit there and prompt it non-stop. This is where the the optimism of AI needs to come in. This is where people need to be excited. People can spend their time doing what they want now.
You have more free time to go outside, experience the world, experience the beauty of the universe. You don't need to just be sitting around doing work all day because your AI agent can go out and do that work for you. So, this is truly the first AI agent that can go out, navigate websites, spreadsheets, browsers, desktop apps, create presentations, websites, 3D projects. I can't wait to launch I'm going to launch an AI video game company.
I promise you right now. I'm going to launch my own AI video I love video games. I'm going to launch one. This one seems like it's built for that kind of use case. This is the shift from prompting AI to supervising its work. More independence for you to pursue what you love. I think that's the beauty of AI. So, at the moment it is rolling out to businesses now. As we speak, businesses are getting access to it. The reason they're doing it this way is so that businesses can use the model to harden their systems, get rid of security vulnerabilities, so that when the larger population gets it, they don't just sit around and start hacking every single website.
Everyone else will be getting it over the next few days. So, you, me, everyone else involved, the next few days will be getting it slowly. I will personally be sitting here and refreshing my ChatGPT every 5 seconds. I need access. I cannot wait to get access to this. I highly recommend you do the same thing. We got a long 3-day weekend coming up if you're in America. I highly recommend carving off time to use this model.
When new models come out, you have an opportunity, right? 99% of the world will have no idea this is happening, right? But you, because you watch this channel, because you learn from me, thank you very much for learning from me, you know what's going on in the world. You know what the cutting edge is in your and you know how to use the most cutting edge technology. You need to be using this model this weekend. Carve out time, make your own benchmarks, right?
Make benchmarks that are personal to you. I showed you the world famous Alex and Bench Market in the last video. Make your own world famous benchmarks. Test models out. Build games with it. Just have fun and create with these models. If you do it right when it comes out, you have an edge over your competition. You can launch products. You can launch businesses. It's just important you use it. You use it to build. You use it to be productive.
You use it to make amazing things. This is one of those opportunities if you take advantage of it. Make sure to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications as this rolls out.
