Summary
OpenAI unveiled GPT-6 Astra on Thursday as its most capable model for difficult end-to-end work. Chinese AI stocks nevertheless moved higher, not lower: MiniMax jumped 6.5% to HK$378 on Friday, while Baidu gained 4.6%, with Kuaishou, JD.com, and Xiaomi also rising. The reaction looks counterintuitive, but Astra raises the competitive bar while reinforcing the bullish idea that autonomous AI agents may become a larger commercial market over time.
