BenBajarin · x · 2026-08-26
During the Hot Chips presentation regarding OpenAI's "Jalapeño" chip, a key architectural principle was highlighted:
- Design Philosophy: "No show flops, all achievable flops." This indicates a focus on practical, usable compute efficiency rather than theoretical peak performance.
- Partners: $AVGO (Broadcom) and $CLS (KLA) were noted as key partners in this initiative.
