OpenAI continues unabated in the field of artificial intelligence. Its next big goal is to develop its own special chips. In this field where technology giants are in high competition, OpenAI has taken action to produce special chips that will accelerate artificial intelligence processes. However, until that day comes, AMD’s MI300 chips will be used. Here are the details…

Important step from OpenAI: Will use AMD processors until it builds its own AI chips

OpenAI is reportedly collaborating with Broadcom on chip development and has signed an agreement with TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) to secure production capacity. The plans are expected to be fully operational by 2026, but OpenAI is determined not to sit idle until then. The company will use AMD’s MI300 chips in its infrastructure.

AMD’s MI300 chips are particularly effective at handling AI and data center workloads. Introduced in 2023, the chips have helped AMD nearly double its data center revenues. As OpenAI bolsters its infrastructure with these powerful chips, it will continue to develop its own custom AI chips.

It is said that the chips that will take place especially in Microsoft Azure infrastructure will make OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence models much faster and more efficient. One of OpenAI’s goals in the chip development process is to achieve the success we have seen in the private chips of giants such as Google, Microsoft and Amazon.

However, there are challenges such as cost and time that cannot be ignored in front of this great goal. As previously reported by Bloomberg, OpenAI was also planning to build its own chip manufacturing facilities, but this plan has been temporarily put on hold due to high costs and time constraints.

Nevertheless, OpenAI has built an engineering team of around 20 people, taking chip development one step at a time. This team includes experienced engineers who have worked on Google’s artificial intelligence chips, Tensor.
