NVIDIA boss Jensen Huang says artificial intelligence just crossed a line experts thought was years away. He also sells the computers that got it there.
On Sunday he posted that OpenAI’s newest ChatGPT model trained on his chips. Then he added four words no AI lab would say.

What He Actually Claimed
AGI stands for artificial general intelligence. It means software that can handle most thinking work a person can. Nobody agrees on when that arrives. Huang just called it.
NVIDIA used to sell its chips eight to a board. Then it changed the design. Now 72 sit in one box, wired to act as one giant brain.
That switch cost billions. It pays off only if somebody builds something enormous.
OpenAI’s new model is that something. Huang says about 100,000 of the boxes trained it.
One oddity. His first post said 300,000. He deleted it and reposted the smaller figure. NVIDIA has not said why.
The Money, and What’s the Catch?
NVIDIA sold $89 billion of AI computers in three months. More than double a year earlier. Huang put it simply on the earnings call.
Now, compute is revenue,” he said.
OpenAI itself has not said AGI arrived. Its president, Greg Brockman, stopped short. The only man calling it gets paid when people believe him.
The partnership is smaller than it sounds. A $100 billion deal the two firms announced in 2025 was never signed. BeInCrypto reported in June that OpenAI was quietly buying fewer NVIDIA chips.
Huang ended his post with a promise. Another 400,000 chips, switching on soon. Markets will surely watch that number, not the AGI talk.
“Achieving AGI by 2026 is wild, it was supposed to be 2029+,” remarked one user.
