chip.ai names the hardware layer of the AI buildout, one of the most capital-intensive categories in technology. In October 2025, OpenAI and Broadcom announced a collaboration to deploy 10 gigawatts of OpenAI-designed AI accelerators by 2029; in June 2026 the partnership unveiled its first chip, Jalapeno, designed end-to-end in nine months with help from OpenAI's own models. Every major hyperscaler now designs custom AI silicon, and custom ASIC shipments are projected to grow 44.6% in 2026.

OpenAI designs its own chips

OpenAI and Broadcom signed a multi-year deal for 10 gigawatts of OpenAI-designed accelerators, then delivered the first physical chip — Jalapeno, an inference ASIC designed in nine months — in June 2026.

Market Structure

Custom silicon is the fastest-growing chip segment

Industry analysis says ASIC-based AI servers are projected to reach 27.8% of shipments in 2026, growing 44.6% year over year, as hyperscalers field purpose-built designs.

Backlog

Broadcom: $73B AI backlog, six custom-chip customers

Broadcom carries a $73 billion AI backlog with six confirmed custom-silicon customers. Data Center Dynamics separately reported OpenAI's Broadcom deal followed roughly 33GW of announced compute commitments across Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom in a single month.

Context for chip.ai

custom AI accelerators

Nvidia alternative

The category OpenAI entered by designing its own chips and racks to embed model-level learnings directly into hardware.

Jalapeno was built specifically for inference — the serving side of AI, where cost per token decides unit economics.

OpenAI's president said its own AI models accelerated the nine-month chip design more than the company expected.

Nvidia holds approximately 70% of the AI chip market, a share projected to erode as hyperscalers invest in their own silicon.
