Qualcomm announced that Microsoft and Meta Platforms will use its new AI chips. Microsoft will utilize Qualcomm's 'High Bandwidth Compute' (HBC) chips, which rely on cheaper memory chips used in smartphones and laptops instead of expensive high-bandwidth memory. Meta will use Qualcomm's new CPU called Dragonfly C1000, designed specifically for AI data centers.
OpenAI revealed its first custom AI chip, called Jalapeño, designed in collaboration with Broadcom. The Jalapeño chip is intended for performing inference tasks efficiently and speedily with large language models (LLMs). OpenAI plans to deploy the Jalapeño chip by the end of this year, with Celestica building the server systems.
Investors are divided on whether AI technology is undervalued or if infrastructure spending is excessive. Morgan Stanley predicts Big Tech firms will spend a combined $1 trillion on capital projects next year. SK Hynix aims to raise $29 billion through a U.S. listing due to surging AI demand.
Meanwhile, politicians and executives are discussing government ownership stakes in leading AI firms due to economic and security concerns. The U.S. unemployment rate is 4.3%, showing no evidence of AI-related job losses as of now.
