OpenAI is reportedly set to develop its inaugural AI chip by 2026, in collaboration with TSMC and Broadcom. Additionally, the company has initiated the use of AMD chips alongside Nvidia’s for AI training purposes.
According to Reuters, OpenAI has temporarily halted its plans to establish a network of chip manufacturing factories. Instead, it will now concentrate on designing its own chips internally. Reuters further reports that OpenAI has been working closely with Broadcom for several months to create an AI chip specifically designed for running models, with an expected release date as early as 2026.
In parallel, OpenAI intends to leverage AMD chips through Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform for model training. Previously, the company had relied heavily on Nvidia GPUs for this purpose. However, due to chip shortages, delays, and the increasing cost of training, OpenAI has been prompted to explore alternative options, as stated by Reuters.
