AI in Hardware 💻

OpenAI Teams Up with Broadcom & TSMC for Proprietary AI Chip Development

OpenAI is taking a bold step into AI hardware by collaborating with Broadcom and TSMC to develop its first proprietary chip, aiming to enhance the performance of its AI models while managing infrastructure demand. This partnership marks a shift toward custom-built AI solutions tailored to OpenAI's needs, which currently rely on Nvidia and AMD chips. Broadcom will aid in the chip’s development, while TSMC provides manufacturing capabilities, setting OpenAI up for increased efficiency and reduced reliance on external chip suppliers.

With rapidly growing infrastructure requirements, OpenAI had explored options like building its own chip factories but ultimately opted against it due to high costs and time constraints. Instead, the company will concentrate on in-house chip design, ensuring a stable and scalable supply chain. This move aligns with OpenAI’s strategy to future-proof its AI systems with enhanced, cost-effective hardware solutions designed to scale its cutting-edge models.

Nvidia’s HOVER: Compact Neural Network Transforms Robot Control

Nvidia researchers have unveiled HOVER, a lightweight neural network with only 1.5 million parameters, designed to control humanoid robots using multiple input methods—from VR headsets to motion capture. Unlike traditional control systems that are resource-intensive, HOVER achieves advanced movement control efficiently, outperforming specialized systems tailored for singular input types.

Trained in Nvidia’s Isaac simulation environment, HOVER enables a year’s worth of robotic training in just 50 minutes on one GPU. This system transitions smoothly from virtual simulation to real-world application, handling robot movements without additional fine-tuning. It accepts versatile input sources, including XR headsets, motion capture, RGB cameras, and joysticks.

Implications :
With its compact yet powerful design, HOVER offers scalable, efficient robotic control that can easily adapt across various robot models. This advance could reduce the complexity and cost of humanoid robot systems, accelerating development in fields like telemedicine, industrial automation, and remote assistance.
