Max Stoiber, who works on ChatGPT at OpenAI, posted that AGI is happening as models grow smarter and show early signs of recursive self-improvement. He wrote that AGI has either happened already or will happen shortly under any definition. Stoiber added that models must interact with plugins to become maximally useful for people. The post presents his assessment of model progress and the role of external capabilities.
