- Astra was trained using more than 100,000 Nvidia Grace Blackwell NVLink72 systems.
- An additional 400,000 Nvidia GPUs are coming online next.
- We are currently entering the AGI era.
- Huang's declaration of AGI is an effort at a takeover of a scientific question by corporate fiat without evidence.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared on X that "AGI has arrived," congratulating OpenAI on the launch of its newest model, Astra (also referred to as GPT-6 Astra). Huang highlighted that the model was trained on Nvidia's hardware, specifically over 100,000 Grace Blackwell NVLink72 systems, and teased that 400,000 more GPUs are coming online next. While OpenAI President Greg Brockman supported this sentiment by welcoming the "AGI era," prominent AI critics like Gary Marcus and the creators of the ARC Prize benchmark pushed back, arguing that declaring victory without a clear definition muddies the scientific reality.
The debate over whether AGI has arrived intensifies as tech leaders align with corporate milestones.
In their words
“AGI has arrived. Congratulations @OpenAI team.”
“Welcome to the AGI era.”
