OpenAI pairs Jalapeño chips with AMD EPYC Turin servers

OpenAI is deploying its custom Jalapeño ASICs in rack-scale systems hosted by AMD EPYC 'Turin' CPUs, bypassing Nvidia's Vera platform. The choice signals OpenAI is building its AI infrastructure around AMD server processors rather than Nvidia's latest offerings, a notable shift given the two companies' close relationship. Tech observers are weighing what the pairing means for data centre economics and for Nvidia's grip on AI hardware.

Why now: OpenAI publicly choosing AMD CPUs over Nvidia's platform is a significant signal in the AI hardware race.
