OpenAI is preparing to produce its first custom artificial-intelligence chip in 2026 in partnership with Broadcom, according to a report cited by Reuters.
The chip is expected to be used internally rather than sold broadly, reflecting the race among AI developers to secure reliable, cost-effective compute at scale as demand for training and inference surges.
The effort fits a broader industry trend toward specialized silicon and diversified supply chains as leading model builders seek more control over performance, cost, and availability.
