Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has announced that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has arrived, celebrating the debut of OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra. Huang stated that Astra was trained on over 100,000 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GPUs, signaling a significant advancement in AI capabilities.
OpenAI formally introduced Astra last week, positioning it as their most capable and aligned system yet. The model is designed to independently complete increasingly complex digital and analytical tasks, potentially exceeding human cognitive abilities across a broad range of intellectual endeavors.
Astra demonstrates enhanced performance, completing tasks 47% faster than GPT-5.6 Sol in OpenAI's OSWorld 2.0 testing. It can perform advanced professional work including software engineering and cybersecurity, and handle tasks like filling online forms and conducting web research.
The model is currently being introduced in phases, available to users on specific ChatGPT plans and through OpenAI's Daybreak Access program for select organizations. It is not sold as a standalone consumer product but can be accessed via API.
