OpenAI’s head of hardware, Richard Ho, explained that the company used AI to design its new Jalapeño ASIC. The AI helped both the chip hardware and the software that will run on it. The design process went from early RTL code to tapeout in just nine months, and the whole concept‑to‑reveal cycle was under two years. Ho said this timeline sets a new baseline for the industry.
A faster, AI‑driven chip design cycle could speed up new hardware releases across the tech sector.
