Jensen Huang Announces AGI and Upcoming GPU Expansion
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared that artificial general intelligence (AGI) has arrived in a post on X, citing OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra as the breakthrough. While OpenAI did not explicitly label its new model as AGI, Huang credited it with achieving significant milestones and revealed plans to deploy an additional 400,000 GPUs next phase of development. The market is expected to react when U.S. equity markets reopen on Tuesday after being closed for Labor Day. The declaration about AGI was made in the context of a technical milestone—Astra trained using over 100,000 Nvidia Grace Blackwell NVLink72 systems—which highlights the company's growing role as an enabler of AI advancements. The more concrete part of Huang’s message is the upcoming GPU expansion. This signals increased demand for computing power in training advanced models like Astra and could reinforce investor confidence in Nvidia’s position within the AI hardware market.
