OpenAI Watch posted an update
OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman told a meeting of Samsung company presidents that OpenAI aims to build AI infrastructure more cheaply than its competitors, according to 24/7 Wall St., citing Q&A materials obtained by Korea’s Financial News.
Why it mattersThe report also says Altman argued that selling AI at scale and on thin margins depends on lowering computing costs, and that OpenAI is developing its own chips as part of that effort. That makes the strategy clear: OpenAI wants to rely less on paying other suppliers’ margins. The account is based on reported meeting materials, not a published transcript, so the detail behind the remarks remains limited.
Discuss: Should major AI companies build their own chips to bring costs down, or does that risk trading supplier dependence for an even more concentrated market?
