OpenAI to Produce First In-House AI Chip in 2026 with Broadcom
5 Sep
Summary
- OpenAI partners with Broadcom to develop its first AI chip
- Chip will be used internally, not sold to external customers
- Move aims to reduce OpenAI's reliance on Nvidia chips
In 2025, OpenAI, the company behind the popular ChatGPT, is preparing to take a significant step in its technological journey. According to reports, OpenAI is set to produce its first in-house artificial intelligence chip in 2026 through a partnership with U.S. semiconductor giant Broadcom.
The new chip, which is currently in development, will be used internally by OpenAI rather than made available to external customers. This strategic move is part of the company's efforts to diversify its chip supply and reduce its reliance on Nvidia chips, which have been a crucial component in powering OpenAI's AI systems.
The decision to develop its own chip comes as the demand for computing power to train and operate AI models continues to surge. OpenAI, which has been at the forefront of generative AI technology, has been exploring various options to meet this growing demand and optimize its infrastructure.
In addition to the Broadcom partnership, OpenAI has also been working with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and incorporating chips from AMD alongside Nvidia chips to meet its infrastructure needs. The company's goal is to create a more diverse and cost-effective chip supply to support its AI operations.
