Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered a substantial population of high-redshift broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) characterized by moderate luminosities, weak X-ray emissions, and faint high-ionization lines, challenging conventional models of AGN activity. In this talk I will propose that these sources are accreting at super-Eddington rates, and discuss how such accretion flows, shaped by thick disk geometries and anisotropic radiation fields, may provide new insights into black hole growth in the early Universe.
