The chatter around OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra has reached fever pitch. In this episode of Quantum Curiosities, hosts Anna and Professor Halloway cut through the hype to ask the question everyone's whispering: is this actually it — the moment artificial general intelligence stops being a phrase and becomes a thing?

From Astra's real-time reasoning and multimodal fluency to the quiet benchmark numbers the press release glossed over, the pair dissect what a "general" intelligence would really need — and whether we're looking at a breakthrough, a very clever autocomplete, or something in between.
