Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has never been shy about artificial intelligence (AI), but he recently went further than usual. After OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra, Huang posted on X that “AGI has arrived,” meaning AI as capable as a human. Huang noted how far the technology had come from ChatGPT to Astra in just four years, and added that the model was trained on more than 100,000 of Nvidia's Grace Blackwell NVLink72 systems.
The numbers behind Astra are hard to ignore. OpenAI says it scored 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI-3, and a perfect 100% on ExploitBench, nearly perfecting tests meant to challenge the best AI models. OpenAI says Astra can use a computer on its own. Instead of just answering questions, the model can click through websites, apps, and files to finish tasks the way a person at a desk would. It is worth remembering that OpenAI itself has been more cautious about calling this AGI. OpenAI President Greg Brockman has spoken of an “AGI era,” but the company has stopped short of the flat declaration Huang made.
