OpenAI collaborates with Broadcom to produce an AI chip for internal operations

OpenAI is reportedly preparing to deploy its first in-house AI chip in collaboration with Broadcom in 2026. This new chip is designed exclusively for internal applications and will optimise ChatGPT-scale model operations.

The move comes as OpenAI seeks to lessen dependence on Nvidia, a dominant supplier in the AI chip market. By controlling the hardware, OpenAI can achieve better efficiency, reduce operational costs, and improve computing performance for large-scale models.
