Huang: AGI Has Arrived with OpenAI's Astra

Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, believes "artificial general intelligence has arrived" with the unveiling of OpenAI's new AI model, Astra. He congratulated the OpenAI team on social media, noting Astra was trained on Nvidia chips. Huang also announced that 400,000 more GPUs are coming online. OpenAI introduced Astra as its most powerful model, capable of demanding professional work. OpenAI president Greg Brockman also stated, "Welcome to the AGI era." However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called AGI "a very poorly defined term." This signals a growing link between AI model performance and the semiconductor supply chain. Nvidia's fiscal 2027 second-quarter revenue reached $96.2 billion, a 106% increase from the previous year, driven by data center revenue. The bottom line is that the race for advanced AI will require even more computing power.
