OpenAI, Broadcom Partner for AI Chip

OpenAI is set to produce its first artificial intelligence chip next year in partnership with Broadcom. The chip will be used internally by OpenAI to power its AI systems, rather than being sold to external customers. This initiative is part of OpenAI's broader strategy to reduce its reliance on Nvidia for chip supply and to gain greater control over costs and performance for its AI workloads. Broadcom has secured over $10 billion in AI infrastructure orders from a new customer, widely believed to be OpenAI, which is expected to significantly improve Broadcom's AI revenue growth. OpenAI is also working with TSMC for the fabrication of these chips and is incorporating AMD chips alongside Nvidia to diversify its supply chain. This move mirrors similar efforts by other tech giants like Alphabet Inc., Amazon (company), and Meta Platforms, who have also developed custom chips for their AI workloads.
