AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) refers to a next-generation form of AI that is expected to match or exceed human intelligence, capable of flexibly learning, making judgments, and applying knowledge across a wide range of tasks and domains. Also called "Strong AI," it differs from today's dominant narrow AI (which is limited to specific purposes) in that it can autonomously solve diverse challenges without being constrained to a single use case. AGI is envisioned to possess capabilities including: • The flexibility to learn autonomously and apply knowledge even in unfamiliar situations • The ability to integrate information from multiple sources, understand context, and make optimal decisions • Integration of diverse cognitive processes including reasoning, creativity, language understanding, and emotional recognition • Self-improvement and metacognition (the ability to understand one's own thinking) At present, AGI has not been achieved and remains in the stage of theoretical research and prototype development. AI research organizations such as OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic have set AGI realization as a medium-to-long-term goal, with significant emphasis placed on challenges such as safety, ethics, controllability, and human cooperation. The emergence of AGI is expected to have a profound impact on every field — including education, healthcare, economics, science, and the arts — while also posing fundamental questions about society and humanity's role. As AI technology advances rapidly, "What is AGI?" and "How close are we to achieving it?" are topics that will attract increasing attention in the years ahead.

What Jev Is [October 2026]: The AI That Generates No Text — How to Use It, Pricing, and How It Differs from Microsoft-Decision-1

On 9 October 2026, Microsoft released Microsoft-Decision-1, a decision model at the same price as Jev ($0.042 per million input tokens, free output) and with the same question types. This article explains what Jev — released by TypeSafe AI on 15 September 2026 — is: a System One model that generates no text and returns Choice (classification), Score (rating) and Noul (a 0–1 truth value) with probabilities; speculative fan-out, where stacking questions barely changes latency; how to get started from the waitlist to the Python SDK, HTTP API and Claude Code skill; routing low-confidence answers to people; and use cases. It then compares Jev with Microsoft-Decision-1 (access, context length, availability, Japanese support), explains which to choose and whether you can use them from Japan, and covers Jev's latest status in October (Series A, rate limits, OpenRouter listing). It also covers the official note that CJK accuracy is lower than English and the weak spots TypeSafe publishes itself.

What GPT-6 Astra Is [September 2026]: Which ChatGPT Plans Include It, API Pricing, and How to Split Work with GPT-5.6

GPT-6 Astra, announced by OpenAI on 3 September 2026 (US time), is a flagship tuned for computer use and long, multi-step work, true to the pitch that it "can do anything a person can do on a computer." It scores 72.6% on OSWorld 2.0, and time per task drops 47% from GPT-5.6 Sol's roughly 75 minutes to roughly 40. This article checks what changed against the benchmarks, then lays out where each ChatGPT plan can use it (Pro at ¥16,800 / ¥30,000, Business and Enterprise get "GPT-6 Pro" in Chat; Plus at ¥3,000 gets it through ChatGPT Work and Codex; Free and Go do not), the caps such as 50 or 200 messages a week, API pricing ($10 input / $50 output, 2.5x Sol) and how to split work with Sol, Terra and Luna, and the behaviour changes on switching (more clarifying questions, more sensitivity to skill files), based on OpenAI's announcement, Help Center and model page.
