OpenAI is reportedly considering the development of its own AI chips to address the shortage of expensive AI chips it relies on. The company has evaluated potential acquisition targets but has not made a decision to move forward. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has prioritized acquiring more AI chips due to the scarcity and high costs associated with running the hardware necessary for its products. Developing custom chips would be a significant investment, similar to Google and Amazon’s approach. However, even with the development of its own chip, OpenAI would still depend on commercial providers in the interim.
