OpenAI unveils in-house AI inference server chip to go live by year-end
OpenAI and Broadcom jointly developed an AI inference server chip called Jalapeno, OpenAI said on June 24. The move is part of OpenAI\'s strategy to reduce its reliance on Nvidia chips and secure its own hardware. OpenAI plans to bring its first Jalapeno servers online by year-end and then expand use. The chip is designed only for inference, and OpenAI said early tests showed higher performance per watt than current state-of-the-art products.
