➀ OpenAI is developing its first inference chip in collaboration with Broadcom and TSMC to support its AI systems;

➁ In addition to NVIDIA chips, OpenAI plans to use AMD chips to meet its growing infrastructure needs;

➂ OpenAI has researched various plans to diversify chip supply and reduce costs, including internal design and manufacturing, but has temporarily abandoned this ambitious plan due to high costs and time requirements;

➃ OpenAI has formed a team of about 20 people led by Richard Ho and Thomas Norrie to develop the chip, aiming to launch the first AI chip in 2026;

➄ OpenAI is exploring other parallel solutions and may introduce more partners in the future;

➅ The development of self-developed chips is part of a broader trend among major tech and AI companies to develop dedicated hardware to meet the unique needs of AI workloads.

➀ AT&T accuses Broadcom of raising prices by 1050% and attempting to change the VMware contract;

➁ Broadcom refuses to renew the permanent license support service for AT&T unless AT&T agrees to certain conditions;

➂ These conditions would cause AT&T to lose tens of millions of dollars more than the cost of the support service;

➃ The proposed annual growth rate is 1050%, which is not the expected way of doing business with a strategic partner;

➄ Broadcom's acquisition of VMware and the transition from perpetual license to subscription model have been criticized by many users;

➅ Some users report that the renewal cost has increased by 500% and 600%.
