To combat a shortage of advanced processors and soaring operational costs, OpenAI, the leading artificial intelligence research lab, is actively considering the development of its own AI chips. CEO Sam Altman has made acquiring advanced AI chips a priority, emphasizing the need to reduce reliance on third-party vendors, notably Nvidia, the current main supplier for OpenAI’s GPUs.
OpenAI has even explored the possibility of acquiring an existing AI chip-making company, taking inspiration from Amazon’s acquisition of Annapurna Labs in 2015. However, the company faces significant challenges. Building custom AI chips is a complex and expensive process, with no assured success, as demonstrated by the struggles of other tech giants attempting similar ventures.
It’s worth noting that Microsoft, one of OpenAI’s major backers, is also in the race, developing a custom AI chip that OpenAI is currently testing. This move indicates potential distancing between the two tech entities, as OpenAI explores alternative solutions.
