OpenAI is contemplating the development of its own AI chips to break free from reliance on NVIDIA and Microsoft. This move is seen as a sign of OpenAI's growing independence. In addition to reducing hardware costs, developing its own chips will also enable OpenAI to manufacture consumer-grade AI products in the future, achieving a control similar to the Wintel alliance in the PC era during the AI era. The development of OpenAI's own chips reflects its ambition for independence and foreshadows the beginning of a new round of competition in the AI field.
