πŸ“’LATEST IN AI

🌟OpenAI Taps Broadcom to Build Its First AI Processor

OpenAI is officially entering the chip game β€” partnering with Broadcom to design and manufacture its first in-house AI processor.

πŸ”Ž Inside the Update

  • Opt‑in Copilot Mode debuts on Edge.

  • Compares results across all open tabs. 

  • Single box for chat, search, navigation. 

  • Handles tasks like bookings and errands.

  • Free for now in Copilot markets. 

  • Voice navigation supported for browsing. 

Why it Matters

By building its own AI chips, OpenAI is taking a page from Apple and Google β€” securing control over its hardware ecosystem. This move could dramatically lower training costs, speed up model deployment, and make future GPT iterations more energy-efficient. It also intensifies competition with Nvidia, whose dominance in AI chips has driven record valuations.
