Nvidia CEO: AGI Is Here Thanks to OpenAI

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced "AGI has arrived" in a recent social media post, celebrating OpenAI's latest model, Astra. Huang specifically praised OpenAI's team for reaching this artificial general intelligence milestone.

He further noted the critical role of Nvidia's technology, stating that Astra was trained on the company's advanced chips. This development underscores the increasing reliance of major AI labs on Nvidia's powerful computing infrastructure.

OpenAI unveiled Astra on Thursday, describing it as their "most intelligent and aligned model" capable of high-level professional tasks. Company president Greg Brockman echoed the sentiment, suggesting that this model marks the beginning of the AGI era and that future generations may view this time as its creation.

This advancement highlights the symbiotic relationship between AI developers and chip manufacturers like Nvidia. OpenAI has previously acknowledged Nvidia GPUs as the "foundation of our infrastructure," a partnership that has significantly boosted Nvidia's revenue, particularly from its data center business. Huang also teased further advancements, mentioning "400K GPUs coming online next."
