AI & models
AGI
Artificial general intelligence
A hypothetical AI that could match a capable human across basically any task — learning, reasoning, and adapting broadly — rather than being strong at a narrow set of things. Today's models, impressive as they are, are not AGI: they're remarkably good in specific domains but still have real gaps and blind spots. AGI is a goal and a topic of debate, not a product you can buy.

Part of How AI actually works → Knowing AGI doesn't exist yet helps you cut through the hype and judge a tool by what it actually does today, not by what a headline promises it might do someday.
