François Chollet on AGI

Said

“Sooner, given progress is happening faster than I expected.”

Responding to a direct question about his earlier “AGI ~2030” forecast, Chollet says the timeline is sooner after Astra’s results. The question and answer were both verified through official X embeds. He supplies no replacement year, so the archive does not invent a narrower window. This is a forecast revision, not a claim that Astra is AGI.
