AI industry shifts toward in-house chips as Chinese firms join in

AI model developers are increasingly seeking to secure their own AI chips, moving beyond niche efforts, as major U.S. and Chinese tech companies work to cut reliance on outside suppliers and reduce costs. OpenAI has co-developed an inference server chip with Broadcom and plans to expand its use after starting servers later this year. Reports also point to Anthropic and Chinese AI firms DeepSeek and Z.ai exploring in-house chip development.
