Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has claimed that
the latest version of ChatGPT
marks the first instance of artificial general intelligence (AGI), or human-level
.
OpenAI’s GPT-6 model, known as
Astra, launched last week with impressive results in benchmark tests that appeared to set it apart from its rivals like Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s Gemini.
OpenAI said it was “state-of-the-art on computer use, browsing, software engineering, cyber security, science and professional work”, capable of autonomously completing multiple tasks at once.
In a demonstration, the new AI model handled user requests while simultaneously performing complex tasks like creating a video game or preparing a legal document.
Following its unveiling, Mr Huang wrote in
a post to X
: “AGI has arrived. Congratulations OpenAI team.”

He added: “If we fast forward a couple years, and we look back and say when was it really that AGI was created, I think it’s going to be about this time, and I think it might be about this model.”
