According to one of the sources, long-time executive Mira Murati told employees on Wednesday that a letter about the AI breakthrough called Q* (pronounced Q-Star), precipitated the board’s actions.

The maker of ChatGPT had made progress on Q*, which some internally believe could be a breakthrough in the startup’s search for superintelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans.

    OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans? So not AGI as EVERYONE else understands it.

      If humans can build AGI then so can an AI system smarter than humans. Therefore building an AI system smarter than humans is equivalent to building AGI.
