AGI, the technology once imagined to both destroy and enrich human civilization, has arrived, Nvidia chief Jensen Huang declared over the weekend.
OpenAI’s newest model, Astra (“stars” in Latin), has achieved the goal, Huang wrote on X on Sunday, after training on 100,000 Grace Blackwell chips (an earlier post said 300,000 before he deleted it). His post was received with a healthy mix of supporters and detractors: Jim Cramer said Nvidia was winning from the release, and crypto CEO Hunter Horsely said Huang was the “most credible referee.” But others had questions: Did Jensen not, asked AI critic Gary Marcus, have a financial incentive to declare AGI?
