OpenAI says its Jalapeño chip can power faster AI responses than the competition

TL;DR

  • OpenAI's new AI chip, Jalapeño, outperforms Nvidia's superchips on AI inference benchmark tests.
  • Jalapeño offers lower latency and higher throughput, providing a balance typically not achieved in AI systems.
  • The chip, an ASIC made with Broadcom, is designed for AI inference, running trained AI models.
  • Tests show Jalapeño delivers 1.5 to 1.9 times more AI work per watt and 1.7 to 3.6 times lower latency than comparison systems across several models.
  • OpenAI plans to deploy Jalapeño in small volumes by the end of the year, with increased volume in 2027.
  • OpenAI will continue to partner with companies like Nvidia and develop future generations of Jalapeño.
