Summary
Broadcom says that this ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) was designed from scratch for LLM inference, based on “detailed insights” from the company’s conversations with researchers at OpenAI, and that the chip’s development was informed by OpenAI’s own roadmap for future models and products. The chip, co-developed with semiconductor company Broadcom, is designed specifically for AI inference -- the process of running an AI model to generate answers for users, as opposed to the lengthy and expensive process of training a model from scratch. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and Codex and the models those tools utilize, and Broadcom, an established silicon supplier, have announced a new chip called Jalapeño, designed specifically for large language model inference in data centers.
