GPT-6 Astra, AGI Claims, Lawsuits, and the Reality Check on Agents

Claire and Peter break down a packed day in AI. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declares that AGI has arrived alongside OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra, pointing to massive Grace Blackwell scale, new safeguards, and broad availability via ChatGPT tiers and the API. They then cover fresh legal pressure as The Seattle Times and Newsday sue OpenAI and Microsoft over alleged unauthorised use of journalism and output reproduction, adding to a growing wave of media litigation. On the research side, they discuss Harbor Adapters, an open-source evaluation stack that ports 80+ agentic benchmarks into a unified harness, and the sobering finding that no model-harness combo clears a 30% pass rate. The episode also explores a paper on a capability paradox in financial markets, where more capable LLM traders can increase correlated behaviour and systemic risk in misinformation environments. Finally, they look at public backlash over proposed AI data centre expansion near Visakhapatnam, highlighting the land, water, energy, and transparency demands that come with AI’s physical footprint.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
