OpenAI to launch its first AI chip in 2026 with Broadcom
OpenAI will debut its first in-house AI chip next year in partnership with Broadcom. Unlike cloud rivals, the chip will be used internally to power OpenAI’s own systems rather than sold externally. The move comes as the ChatGPT maker seeks to reduce reliance on Nvidia and diversify its supply chain, after previously exploring collaborations with TSMC and AMD. OpenAI’s push mirrors strategies by Google, Amazon, and Meta, who have already developed custom silicon to meet soaring AI compute demands.
