NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Announces AGI Has Arrived with Deployment of Over 100,000 Grace Blackwell GPUs
On September 6, 2026, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang declared that artificial general intelligence (AGI) has arrived, citing OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model trained on over 100,000 of the company’s Grace Blackwell GPUs. This marks a significant shift from his earlier cautious stance during recent earnings calls where he focused more on AI generating profitable tokens rather than explicitly labeling it as AGI. NVIDIA reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year and well above the consensus estimate of $92.07 billion. Data Center segment revenue reached $89.02 billion, growing by 117%. The company also raised Q3 guidance to $108 billion but noted supply constraints are limiting its ability to meet surging demand. Huang emphasized that compute is now directly tied to revenue and highlighted the economic potential of Grace Blackwell GPUs at $25 billion per gigawatt, with an upcoming successor model expected to increase this value. The deployment of large-scale GPU clusters by NVIDIA has positioned it as a central player in powering AI advancements.
