The GPT-6 Astra AI model launched by OpenAI last week received the highest praise from the professional community. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang did not stand idly by. After the US startup company released this product, he generously announced the creation of strong artificial intelligence.

The company chief noted in passing that Astra received training on Nvidia chips, saying succinctly report On the page of social network X: “AGI has been created”. This word means “Powerful Artificial Intelligence”whose capabilities are equal to or superior to humans. He congratulated the OpenAI team on such a success, noting that there were only four years between the releases of the o1 and Astra AI models.
Representatives from OpenAI itself offered a similar assessment, with startup president Greg Brockman telling reporters last week: “Welcome to the AGI era”. Astra developers define AGI as “Highly autonomous systems outperform humans in most economically valuable tasks”. OpenAI customers will gain access to Astra starting this week. Brockman said that in the future, people will start to remember the moment when AGI was born and associate it with the current period, most likely with this specific model (Astra). At the same time, the president of OpenAI himself is not inclined to believe that AGI has been created.
Some critics say that Huang’s statement about creating strong artificial intelligence is simply muddying the waters and “running ahead of the locomotive” because he does not provide evidence or strict definitions to ensure the creation of strong artificial intelligence. For example, Gary Marcus, a well-known researcher in some circles, is convinced that Astra only meets one or two of the ten criteria we use to talk about the creation of AGI.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman calls AGI a very vaguely defined marketing term. When talking about the progress of the entire artificial intelligence industry, Huang Renxun said that the next stage will include 400,000 GPUs as part of the computing accelerator.
