OpenAI and Broadcom have unveiled “Jalapeño,” OpenAI’s first custom-designed AI inference chip. According to a cnbeta report, the ASIC took only nine months from design to tape-out, a record-breaking pace aided by OpenAI’s own models participating in the layout and circuit design. A separate deep dive notes that the chip will be deployed by late 2026, marking a major step towards OpenAI’s goal of becoming a full-stack AI company capable of driving down inference costs for its advanced models and upcoming AI agents.
