Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared that the era of AGI (artificial general intelligence) has arrived after OpenAI released its latest model, GPT-6 Astra, last Thursday.
Huang wrote a post on X about the breakthrough, saying that it marks the outset of the AGI era.
“GPT-6 Astra, trained on ~100K+ NVIDIA Grace Blackwell NVLink72. From ChatGPT to o1 to Astra in 4 years. AGI has arrived. Congratulations @OpenAI team. 400K GPUs coming online next,” Huang said.
This model features major improvements in computer use, coding, scientific research, and professional work. It can also carry out tedious computer-based tasks, such as filling out online forms, updating customer records, organizing calendars, and conducting research.
Astra is already available to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise customers, as well as through the OpenAI API and Amazon Web Services.
AGI lacks a common definition across the tech sector, though it generally refers to an AI system that has human-level cognitive abilities for learning and reasoning, and is able to learn new skills and capabilities without being retrained.
Huang and Nvidia have defined AGI as an AI system that can pass professional certifications and standardized tests across a range of professional fields with top-tier scores.
OpenAI defines AGI as “highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work.”
