Nvidia's Jensen Huang says 'AGI has arrived' and congratulates OpenAI

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made the comment on Sunday, days after OpenAI released Astra, its newest and most powerful AI model.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared on Sunday that artificial general intelligence, or AGI, has arrived, crediting OpenAI's latest model, Astra, as the milestone model. Huang praised Astra, which was trained on Nvidia's chips, for its advanced capabilities. OpenAI unveiled Astra on Thursday, touting it as the world's most intelligent and aligned model.

Greg Brockman, OpenAI's president, referred to it as a major research breakthrough. Astra is set to launch this week. Both Huang and Brockman expressed confidence that AGI has been achieved with this model. OpenAI's reliance on Nvidia's advanced chips for training and running AI models has driven significant sales for the chipmaker.

Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue in August, a substantial increase from the previous year.
