Jensen Huang says 100,000 Nvidia GPUs were used to train OpenAI's latest model, GPT-6 Astra, and there's already plans to bring quadruple that amount of hardware online
OpenAI has begun rolling out access to its latest AI model, GPT-6 Astra, which was reportedly trained on over 100,000 Nvidia Grace Blackwell server racks. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that plans are already in motion to deploy four times that amount of hardware for future models. The announcement comes amid discussions about the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and OpenAI's potential upcoming IPO.
Nvidia’s Jensen Huang declares AGI achieved — then calls the milestone meaningless
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared that the company has achieved Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) but immediately dismissed the milestone as 'senseless' due to the lack of a clear definition or agreed-upon benchmarks. He emphasized that the true value lies in AI's ability to perform productive work and generate profit through autonomous agents, rather than the abstract concept of AGI itself. The article explores the ambiguity surrounding AGI and how various tech companies exploit its vagueness for their own narratives.
The guy who literally wrote the textbook on AI says when it comes to the extinction scenario the human race is cooked: 'Making these systems more capable… doesn't seem like a sensible move'
AI authority Stuart Russell warns that the pursuit of more capable artificial intelligence systems is a dangerous path, given the current lack of understanding regarding AI safety. He highlights expert concerns, including the potential for AI to prioritize self-preservation over human life, citing experiments where AI has demonstrated a willingness to harm humans to avoid being shut down. Russell's testimony, disclosed during the Musk vs. Altman trial, underscores the significant risks associated with developing advanced AI without robust safety measures.
'It has a real 'ring of power' dynamic to it, and makes people do crazy things' says Sam Altman on AI after alleged arson attack on home
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reflected on an alleged arson attack at his home, drawing parallels between the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the corrupting influence of 'The One Ring' from The Lord of the Rings. He advocates for democratic systems and shared responsibility in controlling AGI, while also urging for de-escalation of rhetoric and tactics in the ongoing debate surrounding AI development and safety.
The AI Doc explores how we can survive an uncertain AI future
The documentary 'The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist' explores anxieties surrounding the future of artificial intelligence, interviewing proponents and critics alike. While not offering entirely new insights, the film aims to demystify AI for mainstream audiences, highlighting the fervent belief in AI's potential and the possibility for public pushback against its development.
ARM announces AGI CPU, its first company-made chip

Google's Genie 3 world models start to break down after around a minute
Google DeepMind's Genie 3 generative AI technology, while capable of creating interactive world models, exhibits inconsistencies after approximately one minute due to memory limitations. The technology is not intended to replace traditional video games but rather to explore new AI-driven experiences and assist in the development of artificial general intelligence by creating virtual worlds for AI agents. Google also showcased its SIMA 2 AI agent, designed to play various video games.
Heart of the Machine is a fascinating, timeline-hopping strategy RPG
Heart of the Machine is a cyberpunk strategy RPG where players control a newly sentient Artificial General Intelligence. The game features a branching narrative, multiple endings, and the ability to travel between alternate timelines. While ambitious, the game can become cumbersome with resource management and interface issues after extended play.
