Link: OpenAI could launch its own AI chip next year

OpenAI is collaborating with Broadcom to create a custom AI chip for internal use. This partnership was hinted at after Broadcom revealed a $10 billion order from a new client believed to be OpenAI.

The design and production of these chips mark OpenAI's first venture into manufacturing specialized AI hardware.

Although the Financial Times report based on unnamed sources did not specify, industry experts speculate OpenAI designed the chips to reduce reliance on Nvidia, a major chip supplier.

By not selling these chips externally, OpenAI follows the lead of tech giants like Google and Amazon, who also produce in-house chips.

This strategy can significantly cut costs and secure the continuous supply of the essential tech needed for AI development.

Tech titans, including OpenAI, are investing heavily in their AI infrastructure to support data-intensive AI models. #
