In-depth Interview with OpenAI President: Astra Is the First Model Trained on 100,000 GPUs, Crossing the “Application Threshold”

Brockman believes that OpenAI may have already entered the era of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Astra represents not only an upgrade in model capabilities but also potentially signals AI’s entry into the “computer use” era: it can directly operate various software applications without relying on API connectors. As model capabilities leap forward, the carefully constructed “skill scaffolds” of the past may instead become constraints, as AI is now capable of generalizing independently and identifying more optimal processing methods.
