OpenAI Plans to Develop Its Own AI Chips with Broadcom

The federal government is moving to limit AI use in risky situations. They also plan to study harmful AI in healthcare. This step is crucial as leaders understand AI's potential. By 2030 or 2035, AI research could change drastically. We may see fewer public reports from top labs, though innovation will continue.

OpenAI is talking to Broadcom about a new AI chip. Nvidia has been a big winner in the AI boom, earning a trillion dollars in market cap. Their graphics cards are essential for training AI models. Last year, Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, started a new company to develop AI chips. He also aims to set up chip factories and data centers.

Altman has hired former Google employees who worked on Google's AI chip. He is also talking to chip designers, including Broadcom. The goal is to create a server chip that rivals Nvidia's. This plan could take years and might upset Nvidia, OpenAI's main chip supplier. But it could give OpenAI more power in future pricing talks.

Some think this plan is a long shot. Designing AI chips is very hard. Nvidia leads the market because they have the best infrastructure, partnerships, and trade routes. They benefit most from the AI boom. Altman's long-term vision might be to use super-intelligent AI to advance chip fabrication. This would help them create the best chips.

Despite doubts, Altman remains focused. He aims to push the boundaries of AI and chip technology. This move could shape the future of AI hardware and software. The journey is long, but the potential impact is huge.
