Major AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic are reportedly developing their own custom chips, a move driven by the scarcity and cost of current AI hardware. OpenAI's 'Jalapeño' chip, designed in collaboration with Broadcom, is intended for inference tasks and is expected later this year. This trend raises questions about whether these companies are seeking to escape vendor lock-in with existing providers like NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, or if the physical supply chain for AI chips is the primary bottleneck.
