OpenAI has announced that it will be working with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) on state-of-the-art A16 Angstrom AI chipsets. It is designed to provide superior power for AI applications.
Reports indicate that while the manufacturing processes would still be by TSMC, the chipsets would be customized by OpenAI to fit their advanced systems in AI. The move signifies a quantum leap in AI hardware development to finally support resource-intensive models developed by OpenAI, such as Sora, a generative AI model currently in development.
Interestingly, OpenAI has also received orders for supplies of A16 Angstrom chipsets from Apple. Presumably, these will be fitted in future iPhones. This is in line with Apple's current efforts toward deeper integrations of advanced AI capabilities in their devices. By using the same chipset technology as OpenAI, Apple wants to further enhance the performance and functionality of its iPhones.
There is a possibility of Sora, belonging to OpenAI integrating with iPhones developed by Apple. Also, Rumour Mill is churning with the possibility of a funding round in which Apple and Nvidia may invest in OpenAI, which might take the company's valuation above $100 billion or around ₹7,870 crores. This investment could fast-track advanced AI technologies and bring them into consumer products.
With Open AI and Apple pushing their collaboration even further, tech enthusiasts all over the world are waiting with bated breath for what might be a game-changing tech update. The AI chipset in it, an A16 Angstrom, features some real giant leaps in AI hardware and is expected to bring many more efficient uses of AI.
