OpenAI Jalapeño

As the demand for specialized AI hardware skyrockets, industry giants like OpenAI and SpaceX are moving away from Nvidia's monopoly to build their own custom silicon, signaling a major shift in the LLM infrastructure landscape.

OpenAI has officially entered the hardware arena with Jalapeño, a custom-designed ASIC developed in collaboration with Broadcom to optimize AI inference and reduce dependency on external silicon providers.
