OpenAI, one of the leading companies in the field of artificial intelligence, has introduced its first custom AI inference chip named "Jalapeño," developed in collaboration with chip giant Broadcom. This chip is specifically optimized for large language model (LLM) workloads and is positioned as a significant innovation in the AI hardware market.

Developed in just nine months through a partnership between Broadcom and Celestica, Jalapeño aims to enhance the performance and optimize the energy efficiency of AI applications. This development is seen as part of OpenAI's strategy to solidify its leadership role not only in AI models but also in fundamental hardware infrastructure. The launch of Jalapeño is expected to usher in a new era of competition in AI hardware.
