California, Aug. 25 -- OpenAI has announced results from testing Jalapeno, its first custom inference chip, saying the in-house silicon delivers higher throughput, lower latency and greater power efficiency across multiple AI models.

In a post on X, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced the development, saying, "we made a chip and it is fast".

According to an article titled 'Jalapeno's first results show industry-leading speed and efficiency in AI inference' published on OpenAI's official website, on Tuesday (local time) the company said Jalapeno can "serve more AI work per unit of power while also returning responses more quickly".

"Jalapeno delivers both higher throughput and lower latency with one architecture, where existing hardware sys...
