Key facts
- Jalapeño was delivered to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman by Broadcom President and CEO Hock Tan and President Charlie Kawwas, marking an important step in OpenAI’s strategy
- Engineering samples of the Jalapeño chip are running ML workloads in the lab at production target frequency and power, including GPT‑5.3‑Codex‑Spark
- Our collaboration with OpenAI represents a fundamental commitment to scaling the physical infrastructure required for the next decade of AI,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO, Broadcom
- Jalapeño is a blank-slate design for modern LLM inference, not a general-purpose accelerator adapted from earlier AI workloads
Summary
Early testing shows that the first-generation accelerator will deliver performance per watt substantially better than current state-of-the-art. Built from the ground up for current and future LLMs across the industry. Developed from design to production in nine months, accelerated by OpenAI’s models. Expands OpenAI’s full-stack platform, from products to models and now to chips. To be deployed at gigawatt scale with data center partners, over multiple generations.
