Open AI is collaborating with Broadcom to develop specialized AI hardware. The union is aimed at cutting back on the wholesome reliance on outside suppliers like Nvidia, and on enhancing its computational backbone. Initial shipments are expected to kick off in 2026, reaching full-scale deployment by 2029.
The collaboration is targeting the production of 10 gigawatts of AI compute capacity – enough to power millions of U.S. residences. This roll out means self-sufficiency and better performance for Open AI. For Broadcom, it marks a bold entry into the competitive market of chip making, with several investors already showing strong interest. Open AI and Broadcom might even tap into Arizona’s fast growing semiconductor hub, the Silicon Desert, for infrastructure benefits.
This union marks a new era where market-leaders are not just concentrating on developing their algorithms but also at the hardware being them. The message is clear – the future of AI rests at the hands of companies possessing full-stack control: chips, models and infrastructure.
