Built with Broadcom, the LLM-focused accelerator is the first step in OpenAI's effort to design the hardware behind ChatGPT and beyond.
Named Jalapeño, the new processor was designed specifically for the unique needs of OpenAI's inference systems.
OpenAI has just revealed a new "intelligence processor" chip for AI servers made in partnership with Broadcom. The chip, called Jalapeño, is designed to power current and future large language models, according to an announcement on Wednesday. Jalapeño is an ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit), meaning it's designed for a specific purpose: AI inference. With AI inference, models process a user's request to run an agent like Codex or offer a response from ChatGPT, while AI training involves a model consuming vast amounts of data to inform its responses. It comes just nine months after OpenAI revealed that it would team up with Br … Read the full story at The Verge.
OpenAI's custom chip venture could reshape AI hardware dynamics, but financial dependencies and production delays pose significant risks. The post OpenAI tests first homegrown AI chip Jalapeño for customer queries appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
