OpenAI can achieve better performance-to-cost ratios for its AI models by using optimized custom chips.
Other major AI companies may intensify their efforts to design or co-design custom AI silicon, leading to further market fragmentation.
The development of more specialized AI hardware could encourage novel AI architectures that leverage these custom capabilities, accelerating AI progress beyond current limitations.
