In the context of artificial intelligence application (AI), the demand for specialized chips for AI has increased significantly in recent years.
Currently, NVIDIA is a leading AI chip supplier, but Openai - the company behind Chatgpt - is speeding up the development of its own AI chip and is expected to launch the first product later this year.
According to the recent Reuters report, Openai is "accelerating" in the design and production plan of its own AI chip line. The source said the company is in the design stage and is expected to send the design to the factory in the next few months.
Notably, TSMC - a large chip manufacturer currently provides Apple components - is rumored to be the first chip production partner of Openai.
In the early stages, Openai's chip will mainly serve the operation of AI models with some limited roles. However, this chip also has the ability to train AI model and can be used for this purpose in the future. If the project goes smoothly, Openai's engineering team has planned to develop more powerful chips.
Not only OpenAI, many technology giants such as Meta and Microsoft are also investing billions of dollars in AI infrastructure. Meanwhile, Chinese startup DeepSeek recently attracted attention when introducing a powerful AI model that does not require huge hardware resources.
This shows that AI industry is constantly developing and diversifying technology solutions.
