NVIDIA Blackwell 2 will “autonomously train itself to AGI over the weekend,” claim leakers
Evaluating rumours that NVIDIA’s Blackwell 2 hardware could autonomously train itself to AGI-level capability within days.
Claim: NVIDIA’s Blackwell 2 hardware will independently train itself into AGI within days.
Verdict: False — hardware cannot self-train to AGI, and the rumour is incompatible with current architectures.
A fresh round of “sources” insist that NVIDIA’s next-gen architecture will casually self-train to AGI between Friday afternoon and Monday morning. Naturally, nobody involved can produce anything resembling evidence — but they are very confident.
THE CLAIM
Blackwell 2 will automatically train itself to AGI-level intelligence over a single weekend, with no human oversight, “because the architecture is so advanced it basically trains itself.”
THE SOURCE
Anonymous Twitter/X leakers, low-effort tech blogs repeating them, and a few breathless aggregation accounts turning guesses into gospel.
OUR ASSESSMENT
There is no indication — none — that Blackwell 2 has autonomous self-training capabilities.
There is also no evidence that NVIDIA is even attempting anything resembling self-directed AGI development.
What we’re seeing is the usual pattern: someone hears “next-gen architecture,” assumes “magic,” and then stapples a sci-fi narrative on top.
THE SIGNAL
The only sliver of reality here is that NVIDIA’s hardware roadmap is genuinely aggressive, and competitors are nervous.
But nothing in the actual technical landscape suggests self-training AGI is arriving via a GPU drop.
VERDICT
Rumour Status: ❌ Weekend AGI Fantasy
Confidence: 95%
