In a bid to break away from the existing norm, Sam Altman and TSMC might enter a vital partnership. This partnership will aim to produce next-generation AI chips that will be useful for powering AI-driven appliances and gadgets. At the moment, TSMC isn’t marking its territory in the AI chip industry, as just one chip manufacturing firm reigns supreme in these waters.
Over the past few months, NVIDIA has been in a stride, teasing and releasing AI chips for usage in various industries. It will be easy for Sam Altman to make use of NVIDIA AI chips for OpenAI’s ChatGPT moves and applications, but he has other plans. According to our sources, it seems like Sam Altman is planning to “be the captain of his chip-fabricating vessel” in the AI industry.
To do this, he needs to break away from NVIDIA’s current grip on the AI chip-fabricating industry. At this time, sources familiar with this matter are making us understand that Sam Altman is currently seeking funding for his AI chip fabrication initiatives. The tech guru is also in discussion with the folks at TSMC for a possible partnership in the production of AI chips.
If all goes well, Sam Altman and TSMC might rise to become a viable threat to NVIDIA’s control of the AI chip manufacturing industry. Already, Sam Altman has a vast understanding of the AI field, with knowledge of what to expect from an AI chip. Chip manufacturer TSMC has the technological know-how when it comes to designing and manufacturing powerful chips.
It’s also good to note that OpenAI currently makes use of NVIDIA’s AI chips for their various processes. Would this possible Sam Altman and TSMC partnership mean that OpenAI will end their dependency on NVIDIA for chips? Over the coming months, we’ll get to know more about this topic as it might shape the future of the AI industry.
