According to the report, NVIDIA is developing a new system for “inferential” computing, a form of processing that allows AI models to respond to queries.
The new platform will be unveiled at Nvidia’s GTC developer conference in San Jose next month and will include a chip designed by startup Groq, the report added, citing people familiar with the matter.
Reuters could not immediately confirm this report. Nvidia and OpenAI did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
Reuters reported earlier this month that OpenAI was frustrated with the speed at which Nvidia’s hardware was spitting out answers to ChatGPT users for certain types of problems, such as software development and how AI communicates with other software.
In the future, OpenAI will need new hardware that could eventually cover about 10% of its inference computing needs, one of the people told Reuters.
