OpenAI Expects to Achieve AGI by the End of 2026
In an exclusive interview with TIME magazine, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the company expects to achieve an AGI system that meets its definition by the end of 2026, which is capable of matching or surpassing human performance in most economically valuable tasks. Chief Researcher Mark Chen mentioned that the company has completed 80% of the journey, while co-founder Greg Brockman believes that in two years, people may look back at this period as the moment of AGI's birth. OpenAI's upcoming Astra model has passed internal automated AI research intern benchmark tests, capable of conducting experiments and completing tasks that previously took human researchers a week. Altman noted that Astra will be the first model capable of inventing new things in a meaningful way. OpenAI is developing multiple devices, including a desktop device set to launch in early 2027, its own reasoning chip Jalapeño, and humanoid robots, with the long-term goal of creating a general AI subscription service that proactively recommends and executes tasks.
