OpenAI Explores Making ItsAI Chips Amid Global Shortage

  • OpenAI is looking into building its own AI chips or acquiring a chipmaker to secure supply and reduce costs.
  • CEO Sam Altman has made acquiring more chips a priority due to high demand and reliance on limited suppliers like Nvidia.
  • Designing its own chips would align OpenAI with other tech giants like Google, Amazon and Meta.
  • Acquiring or collaborating with an existing chipmaker may be a faster option than building from scratch.
  • OpenAI currently depends on thousands of expensive Nvidia GPUs to run models like ChatGPT.
