OpenAI and Broadcom unveil LLM-optimized inference chip (openai.com)
shellcromancer 1 hours ago [-]
Probably obvious but still omitted in the OpenAI post: chips are being made by TSMC [1]. Wasn't sure if Intel got it.

> May we scale smoothly, exponentially and uneventfully through A[SI]

That sentence sounds weird to me. I can't really put my finger on why, maybe the combination of adverbs, or just the fact of writing the desire of scaling as a company so directly. It feels (to me) like openly claiming their selfish goals. Or maybe I am just misinterpreting and they are referring to the whole humanity as "We" (but knowing Broadcom and in a lesser extent OpenAI doings, I am not convinced).

Pretty huge move. Google and their TPUs are looking infinitely more prescient as I think they are on their 7th generation, along with the offshoots it inspired like the LPU and even others, perhaps like Cerebras and their Wafer Scale Engine.

However, based off first impressions, it seems like this is meant for inference side, and not training, which is also an interesting choice.

I hope to see something like this, but in a small form factor like the NVIDIA spark.

I want a super fast LLM that is Opus 4.6+, like, in ability.

One thing I don't like about California based companies is how cringe the names always are.

"Jalapeño" is such a bad name, having an "ñ" already makes it difficult and annoying to deal with in so many little ways. Good luck with that.

But also, theres the sort of "yes lets use Mexican related things because we're California" thought that I just really hate. I don't know, its like corporate Memphis to me. You see a product like this, you know it's an uppity califonia based firm that came up with it.
