Nvidia's Jensen Huang says 'AGI has arrived' and congratulates OpenAI
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took to X to congratulate OpenAI on the release of its latest model, Astra, declaring that 'AGI has arrived.' Huang highlighted that Astra was trained on Nvidia chips and noted the rapid progression from ChatGPT to o1 to Astra in just four years. While OpenAI's president Greg Brockman echoed the sentiment, AI critic Gary Marcus disagreed, arguing that Huang provided no evidence or definition and that Astra falls short of conventional AGI benchmarks. OpenAI has called Nvidia 'the foundation of our infrastructure,' and Huang hinted at 400,000 more GPUs coming online.
Huang gave no evidence and no definitions, which feels to me like an effort at a takeover of a scientific question by corporate fiat.
