Recently, according to The Information, the well-known generative AI application giant OpenAI Talks are underway with a number of chip design companies, includingBroadcom. The talks focused on developing new AI ChipsOpenAI is exploring the possibility of building its own AI chips, a move that would not only enable efficient integration of software and hardware, but also alleviate the current shortage of AI chips.

In addition, OpenAI is actively recruiting former Google employees with the intention of utilizing their experience and expertise in developing Tensor processors to help build its own AI chips. While industry insiders point out that it's nearly impossible for OpenAI to develop an AI server chip that can compete with NVIDIA, it will take years of research and development to achieve significant results. But OpenAI may be able to shorten the R&D cycle by bringing in these industry talents.
It's worth noting that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has laid out an ambitious plan for AI chip development, aiming to raise up to $7 trillion, with the goal of reforming the global semiconductor industry ecosystem and advancing the general-purpose AI industry. According to Sam Altman, the $7 trillion will result in huge AI investments, facilitating the manufacturing of AI chips and the building of related infrastructure, which will ultimately provide a rich set of services around the world and bring considerable value to everyone.
