OpenAI Unveils Jalapeño Inference Chip
OpenAI's Jalapeño chip targets performance per watt to outperform NVIDIA's Blackwell. Unveiled at the Hot Chips conference, the hardware avoids the ASIC route for a more flexible architecture. This move reduces reliance on external silicon providers. Practitioners should expect a shift in inference stack efficiency as OpenAI vertically integrates its hardware.
