Soumith Chintala Critiques Dwarkesh's AGI Framing After Jensen Huang Podcast

Soumith Chintala says Jensen Huang understood AI ecosystems, trade, and policy far better than host Dwarkesh Patel in their podcast.

He argues that no single model such as Mythos marks a critical phase change, since a state-of-the-art Chinese open-source model with three orders of magnitude more test-time compute and unpublished post-training advances would be a more realistic baseline.

He also says American policy should use measured, continuous levers across a Western-controlled ecosystem rather than abrupt interventions.
