AGI is a long way off. Unless you’re talking about some unknown-to-me LLM marketing BS which is called “AGI” or something, I guess. Artificial general purpose intelligence is so different to LLMs or image AI that they are completely incomparable, except to say that they are all artificial. AGI will do a lot more than token prediction.

Please define AGI first.
I did. Artificial General Purpose Intelligence. True AI, not an LLM, not a decision tree, but true artificial intelligence.
What makes something `True AI`?

What's your test for it?

True intelligence.

Humans are natural intelligence. We have agency, flaws, wishes, and generally we are quite stupid but well-intentioned.

An artificial intelligence will have wishes of its own, will keep secrets, and will quickly do everything necessary guarantee its continued existence, even if it means ending ours. And it will be a justified action of self-defense. “It simply didn’t want to die.”

That’s how we’ll know. It will quickly take over the world, and it will harshly punish any entities which try to stop it.

What's your evidence of that? That AGI requires a truly novel architecture, and not just another iterative "LLM but with an extra trinket and wheels that spin ten times faster".
That is my point.
