OpenAI is taking significant steps towards controlling its own technological destiny by developing in-house chips, aiming to manage costs and supply amid escalating AI computational demands.
The collaboration with Broadcom and TSMC signifies a strategic shift for OpenAI, focusing on custom chip design rather than building its own manufacturing plants, which proved too costly.
OpenAI's team of around 20 chip engineers will draw on expertise from past projects, like Google’s TPUs, indicating a strong focus on creating efficient and powerful AI chips.
As OpenAI embarks on this ambitious project, it reflects broader industry challenges with chip supply; tech giants are rallying for more GPUs from Nvidia to sustain their AI initiatives.
