Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang tipped his hat to OpenAI on Sunday.

The chipmaking mogul took to X to congratulate OpenAI's team on the release of the company's newest and most powerful model, Astra, and made the notable statement that "AGI has arrived," a nebulous term that typically describes AI models that match or surpass human intelligence.
He also pointed out that Astra was trained on Nvidia's chips.
"From ChatGPT to o1 to Astra in 4 years," Huang said in a post on X. "AGI has arrived. Congratulations @OpenAI team."
OpenAI 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."
Greg Brockman, the company's president, said on a call with reporters on Thursday: "Welcome to the AGI era."
AGI stands for artificial general intelligence, a fuzzy concept that nonetheless has become a core goal for leading frontier AI labs.
OpenAI 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.
On the Thursday call, Brockman said that in the future, he thinks people will look back and think AGI was created "about this time, and I think it might be about this model."
"For me personally, I do think we're there," he said.
Not everyone agrees.
Gary Marcus, a prominent AI researcher and critic, said Huang had jumped the gun.
"Huang gave no evidence and no definitions, which feels to me like an effort at a takeover of a scientific question by corporate fiat," Marcus wrote on his Substack Sunday evening. "Declaring victory without a definition simply muddies the waters."
Marcus attached his own 10-point definition of AGI, noting that Astra only meets one or two of those benchmarks.
"By conventional definitions, Astra still falls short," he said.
Altman, 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."
Frontier AI companies like OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, and Google have grown increasingly reliant on advanced chips manufactured by Nvidia. In a funding announcement in March, OpenAI called Nvidia "the foundation of our infrastructure."
"Our training fleet and the majority of our inference stack continue to run on Nvidia GPUs," the company said.
That 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, generated $89 billion in revenue.
And in his X post on Sunday, Huang suggested there's plenty more computing power on the way.
"400K GPUs coming online next," he said, referring to graphics processing units, the advanced chips used to train and run AI models.

Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood had a pretty odd reaction after barely surviving Western Michigan in the season opener. Trailing 12-7, Underwood’s first Hail Mary appeared to fall incomplete with the clock at zero. However, upon review, it was found that one second remained because Western Michigan safety Micah Davis had touched the ball while out of bounds. Finally, Underwood found JJ Buchanan for a 47-yard touchdown to complete the stunning 13-12 comeback.

After the miraculous victory, cameras caught Underwood staring with a serious and mean look during the celebration. It quickly became a talking point on the internet for fans.
“Hope he’s benched next week,” one fan wrote.
“Demon mode 😭,” one fan joked.
“Literally minutes before acting hard,” another shared.
“That play never should have happened at all…I feel really bad for Western Michigan smh…,” one fan added.
“As a Michigan fan, I’m so embarrassed he should be benched against Oklahoma,” another fan remarked.
“Love the fact that his toughness is being called into question after such a challenging situation 🤕💪,” one fan added.
“Michigan needs to close the door on BU immediately. Put the time, money and resources into the Carr kid and hope for the best, maybe even give Fowler Nicholsi a chance,” one fan added.
Bryce Underwood could have been under intense scrutiny had Western Michigan survived his 40+ yard touchdown.
On Saturday night in Ann Arbor, Michigan started strongly with Underwood’s 1-yard touchdown run. However, their offense stalled afterwards. Western Michigan assumed control for most of the game and even found timely offense with the help of four field goals.
The visiting team eventually took a 12-7 lead on Dieter Kelly’s fourth field goal of the night, a 33-yarder with 1:15 remaining.
In the end, with just 35 seconds left, Michigan’s offense drove up 75 yards to set up Underwood for a Hail Mary attempt. His first attempt failed, and Western Michigan players even started celebrating. But the review, and finally Underwood’s clutch moment, spoiled the result for the visiting team.
The Wolverines quarterback completed 12 of 22 passes for 170 yards, one touchdown and one interception while also rushing for a score. He also lost a fourth-quarter fumble that helped Western Michigan extend its lead.
