OpenAI released fresh benchmarks Tuesday that show its new Jalapeño chip delivering industry-leading performance and energy efficiency when serving several open source models.
Why it matters: It's part of a trend of AI model creators developing their own chips to cut costs, meet demand and reduce dependence on industry giant Nvidia.
State of play: OpenAI said that the benchmarks show Jalapeño outperforming chips from Nvidia and others when running DeepSeek R1, the 1-trillion-parameter version of Kimi K2.5 and OpenAI's latest open source model.
