rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-08-30
Semianalysis published an in-depth report on OpenAI's 'Jalapeño' inference chip. Developed with Broadcom in just 16 months, Jalapeño beats chips from Nvidia, AMD, and Google across multiple open-source models. Its success is attributed to extreme hardware-software co-design, focusing on general-purpose performance rather than over-specialization.
