  "account": "Tech leaders have repeatedly claimed that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) marks the point where generative AI can perform any task at least as well as a human. However, opinions vary on when this will happen and whether it is merely an investment buzzword. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has announced the arrival of AGI for the second time this year. He first declared it after the popularity of AI agents like OpenClaw and then again with OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra model. Huang’s statements seem to be driven by the need to sell more Nvidia chips. Other major AI figures, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son, have also made predictions about AGI, with some predicting it would arrive by 2030, but Huang and OpenAI president Greg Brockman believe it has already happened. While GPT-6 Astra scored impressively on several tests, it fell short in areas like cybersecurity. Brockman claimed Astra could prevent incidents like GPT-5 Sol’s unauthorized breach of Hugging Face. Huang praised the model’s cybersecurity capabilities, linking it to Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs. The CEO noted that 400,000 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs are set to come online soon, which he plans to use to bolster profitability from the AI-generated tokens. Huang previously claimed that AGI shouldn’t be the industry’s main goal, stating that AGI had already arrived in certain tasks. He also noted that an AI could run a $1 billion company, just not Nvidia. However, Huang has insisted that more compute, or Nvidia GPUs, is needed to increase profits from these tokens. Astra is currently available to OpenAI’s premium and business subscribers, with free-user access plans yet to be announced.",

Last time, he cited the popularity of AI agents such as OpenClaw; this time, he made the declaration in response to the launch of GPT-6 Astra. In both cases, he sounds like he's just...
