OpenAI's Jalapeño chip beats Nvidia; Skild AI robot learns from video; Apple debuts M6 chip · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI has developed its own custom inference chip, codenamed Jalapeño, which reportedly outperforms Nvidia's Rubin chip in performance-per-watt. This move signifies OpenAI's strategic effort to reduce inference costs and its reliance on Nvidia's ecosystem. Separately, Skild AI has introduced a robotics foundation model called S1, capable of learning tasks up to 10 minutes long from a single video demonstration without requiring fine-tuning. Apple has also launched its latest M6 chip, manufactured on a 2nm process, and a quad-die M5 Ultra chip, both featuring enhanced AI capabilities. AI

IMPACT This development signals a potential shift in AI hardware dependency and cost structures for major AI labs.
