> I'd be curious to hear takes on what would make you think Astra is yet to be AGI, and what would still need to be achieved for this to effectively be AGI from this point forward.
Can Astra, or any other model explain how exactly it reached this or that output result? Start with a simple query of asking to add 55+66 for example. (no LLM program can do that)
Can Astra, or any other model refuse to answer or go on "thinking" in a orthogonal direction on it's own?
That's just two quick ideas, I'm pretty sure cognition scientists can invent better and wider range of checks.
I'm confused what you mean by the query of adding 55 + 66. I asked 5.6 Sol on Medium (but pretty sure any model would work at any level) this query:
"Can you add 55 to 66 and explain how you reached that output result"
And received this answer:
"55 + 66 = 121.
Add the tens: 50 + 60 = 110. Add the ones: 5 + 6 = 11. Combine them: 110 + 11 = 121."
Do you mean something else? Do humans do something better than this?
In my opinion this is goal post moving. Humans do many things that we cannot fully explain either without post decision rationalization, and not all intelligent humans are deeply introspective.
