OpenAI and Broadcom Launch Custom AI Chip Jalapeño for Inference Workloads
OpenAI has unveiled its first custom AI chip, Jalapeño, developed in partnership with Broadcom to enhance AI inference performance and reduce reliance on Nvidia's GPUs. Designed specifically for large language model inference, Jalapeño aims to deliver improved efficiency and performance per watt. Early tests indicate competitive performance with Nvidia's and Google's chips. The chip was developed in nine months with AI-assisted design and will be deployed at scale in data centers from 2026, marking the start of a multi-generation hardware strategy.
