Join us for the AI Happy Hour, where we discuss the latest developments, applications, and research in generative AI, focusing on large language models. Whether working on technical projects or exploring AI from a business or product perspective, this is the perfect space to share ideas, find collaborators, and bring your vision to life. Optional topic: Custom Silicon Chips On June 24, OpenAI and Broadcom officially unveiled Jalapeño, OpenAI's first custom, LLM-optimized inference chip. Unlike Nvidia's general-purpose GPUs, Jalapeño is a blank-slate design engineered specifically for LLM inference and agentic workflows, built from design to tape-out in just nine months. Is vertical integration (building your own silicon) the only way LLM providers survive the catastrophic margins of running these models at scale?
