Nvidia Stock Surges After OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra Launch, But AGI Claims Face Skepticism

What happened: Nvidia’s stock approached record highs following OpenAI’s September 3 launch of GPT-6 Astra, a flagship model with a 1 million-token context window and API pricing at $10 per million input tokens. GPT-6 Astra was trained on over 100,000 Nvidia Grace Blackwell NVLink72 systems, with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declaring “AGI has arrived.” Market commentary speculated Nvidia shares could reach $300 by 2027, though this is not analyst consensus.

Why it matters: The GPT-6 Astra launch underscores the symbiotic relationship between AI model development and hardware providers like Nvidia. However, some analysts and media outlets challenge the “AGI” narrative, noting that Anthropic’s Fable 5.1 model outperforms GPT-6 Astra on key coding and reasoning benchmarks. The bullish sentiment around Nvidia is driven as much by marketing and speculation as by measurable performance gains.
