It's not clear to me whether AGI is necessary for solving most of the issues in the current generation of LLMs. It is possible you can get there by hacking together CoTs with automated theorem provers and bruteforcing your way to the solution or something like that.

But if it's not enough then maybe it might come as a second-order effect (e.g. reasoning machines having to bootstrap an AGI so then you can have a Waymo taxi driver who is also a Fields medalist)
