OpenAI is going into the lasts of developing its long-rumored AI processor with the goal of reducing the business’s reliance on Nvidia hardware, according to a Reuters report launched Monday. The ChatGPT developer prepares to send its chip creates to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) for fabrication within the next couple of months, however the chip has actually not yet been officially revealed.

The OpenAI chip’s complete abilities, technical information, and precise timeline are still unidentified, however the business supposedly means to repeat on the style and enhance it with time, providing it utilize in settlements with chip providers– and possibly giving the business future self-reliance with a chip style it manages outright.

In the past, we’ve seen other tech business, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta, produce their own AI velocity chips for factors that vary from expense decrease to easing scarcities of AI chips provided by Nvidia, which delights in a near-market monopoly on high-powered GPUs (such as the Blackwell series) for information center usage.

In October 2023, we covered a report about OpenAI’s intent to produce its own AI accelerator chips for comparable factors, so OpenAI’s customized chip task has actually remained in the works for a long time. In early 2024, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman likewise started investing significant time circumnavigating the world attempting to raise as much as a reported $7 trillion to increase world chip fabrication capability.
