According to a report by Reuters on October 6, insiders have revealed that OpenAI is exploring the development of its own AI chips and is currently evaluating a potential acquisition target for a chip company. The shortage of GPU supplies is the main reason OpenAI is considering self-developed chips, as its computational resources currently heavily rely on Nvidia. Industry insiders indicate that developing its own chips would require OpenAI to invest several hundred million dollars annually, with the entire process expected to take multiple years. Tech giants like Microsoft and Meta have also attempted to develop AI chips but with limited progress. If successful, OpenAI would become one of the few tech companies with proprietary AI chip technology.
