Mark my words, Astra is foreshadowing what the OpenAI device will be like. This is OpenAI’s vision for AGI. The form-factor for AGI will be intelligence that kinda just sits on your shoulder, sees what you see, anticipates your needs, and gets things done. OpenAI almost has all the components to build this: - Astra: a model that’s fast, smart, capable of multitasking - ChatGPT Work: cloud infra for horizontally scaling agents with their own computers - Computer Use: a way to bridge the gap between LLMs and all the messy software humans use - GPT Live: a bidi voice architecture that can run continuously, staying quiet or jumping in as appropriate - Hardware division building some mystery wearable These are the Exodia pieces, and when they come together, it’ll change our relationship with technology. Most computers will only exist for agents. Most work will happen by talking to your OpenAI pendant or whatever, which will orchestrate dozens of agents across virtual computers you never see or think about. Many challenges remain (alignment, embodiment, memory, battery life, …), but this seems as tractable—even imminent—as ever. Scaling just keeps working. The internal branches are converging for OpenAI.
