About OpenAI (Custom Chip)
This record covers the custom AI chip that OpenAI is developing with Broadcom. It is intended to reduce OpenAI's reliance on Nvidia GPUs, which are costly and in high demand. Reports say it is built on TSMC's 3-nanometre process. OpenAI is an AI research company founded in December 2015 and based in San Francisco. It is a public benefit corporation controlled by a nonprofit foundation. It is a chip designer here, not a chip maker, so manufacturing is left to TSMC.
OpenAI (Custom Chip) was founded in 2015 and is based in San Francisco, CA, United States. It is listed under Custom Silicon, AI Accelerators.

What OpenAI (Custom Chip) works on
Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
AI Accelerators
An AI accelerator is a chip, or a part of a chip, designed to run machine learning faster or with less energy than a general-purpose processor. The category includes GPUs, TPUs, neural processing units (NPUs) and chips from many startups.
