OpenAI Unveils Jalapeño, Its First Custom AI Chip Built With Broadcom

OpenAI and Broadcom have unveiled Jalapeño, the ChatGPT maker's first custom AI accelerator chip — a purpose-built ASIC designed specifically for large language model inference rather than the general-purpose GPUs that have dominated the market. Source: VentureBeat The chip reportedly cuts inference costs by about 50% compared to existing solutions, and its development timeline was extraordinary: just nine months from schematics to fabrication readiness, accelerated by using OpenAI's own model
