A Manifold Markets prediction market shows a 93% consensus that OpenAI will design and manufacture a custom AI chip by 2030 (source). This strong market signal indicates high confidence among bettors that OpenAI will vertically integrate into chip design, potentially disrupting the AI semiconductor supply chain. If realized, this could reduce OpenAI's dependence on NVIDIA and other GPU vendors, similar to moves by Google (TPU) and Amazon (Trainium). The prediction's near-certainty suggests OpenAI may have signaled such plans internally. This development aligns with the AI-infra/semiconductor collection focus on new chip entrants and shifts in compute sourcing.
