Jalapeño is the reported codename for a custom AI chip being developed by OpenAI. It appears in industry coverage, including a SemiAnalysis discussion on AI chip shortages, as part of OpenAI's effort to secure its own compute hardware alongside supply from third-party vendors.
No official OpenAI page, specification sheet or launch announcement was available when this entry was written. Technical details such as architecture, process node, memory, performance, manufacturing partner and deployment timeline are not confirmed here and are left unspecified.
The chip is understood to be intended for OpenAI's own infrastructure rather than as a product sold to outside customers, so there is no public pricing or purchase route.

OpenAI showed first results from its in-house inference chip, claiming up to 104x performance on open-weight models and a wider advantage on its internal frontier models. It is for inference only, not training.
OpenAI's first inference chip, made with Broadcom, developed in 9 months with help from OpenAI models. Early testing shows better performance per watt than current accelerators; gigawatt-scale deployment planned.
