Congratulations @OpenAI team.\"\n\nOpenAI unveiled Astra on Thursday. The ChatGPT maker called it the world's \"most intelligent and aligned model,\" and said it is capable of performing \"the most demanding professional work with unmatched speed, accuracy, and judgment.\"\n\nGreg Brockman, the company's president, said on a call with reporters on Thursday: \"Welcome to the AGI era.\"\n\nAGI stands for [__artificial general intelligence__](https://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-openai-the-singularity-agi-prediction-anthropic-nvidia-2026-7), a fuzzy concept that nonetheless has become a core goal for leading frontier AI labs.\n\nOpenAI defines it as \"highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work.\" The company pitched Astra as a major research breakthrough and a shift in what's possible to delegate to AI. It's rolling out to customers this week.\n\nOn the Thursday call, Brockman said that in the future, he thinks people will look back and think [AGI was created](https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-ai-tech-stock-portfolio-equity-investments-spacex-intel-coreweave-2026-9) \"about this time, and I think it might be about this model.\"\n\n\"For me personally, I do think we're there,\" he said.\n\nAltman, for his part, told the \"Sources\" podcast in a recent appearance that AGI is, at best, \"a very poorly defined term. I was going to say it's like an irrelevant marketing term.\"\n\nFrontier AI companies like OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, and Google have grown [increasingly reliant](https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-confirms-hugging-face-acquisition-13-billion-deal-jensen-huang-2026-9) on advanced chips manufactured by Nvidia. In a funding announcement in March, OpenAI called Nvidia \"the foundation of our infrastructure.\"\n\n\"Our training fleet and the majority of our inference stack continue to run on Nvidia GPUs,\" the company said.\n\nThat demand has translated into enormous sales for Nvidia. The company reported $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue in August, more than double the amount reported in the same period a year earlier. Its data center business, which [includes its AI chips](https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia), generated $89 billion in revenue.\n\nAnd in his X post on Sunday, Huang suggested there's plenty more computing power on the way.\n\n\"400K GPUs coming online next,\" he said, referring to graphics processing units, the advanced chips used to train and run AI models.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-s-jensen-huang-says-agi-has-arrived-and-congratulates-openai", "canonical_source": "https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-jensen-huang-agi-openai-astra-ai-2026-9", "published_at": "2026-09-06 22:59:32+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-06 23:31:42.652747+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-chips"], "entities": ["Nvidia", "Jensen Huang", "OpenAI", "Astra", "Greg Brockman", "Sam Altman"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-s-jensen-huang-says-agi-has-arrived-and-congratulates-openai", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-s-jensen-huang-says-agi-has-arrived-and-congratulates-openai.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-s-jensen-huang-says-agi-has-arrived-and-congratulates-openai.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-s-jensen-huang-says-agi-has-arrived-and-congratulates-openai.jsonld"}}
