A prediction market on Manifold Markets indicates a 93.15% consensus that OpenAI will design and manufacture a custom AI chip by 2030. This suggests strong market belief in OpenAI's vertical integration into semiconductor design, potentially reducing dependence on external GPU suppliers like NVIDIA and AMD. While the prediction is long-term, it signals growing industry expectations of OpenAI's hardware ambitions. The high probability reflects aggregated trader sentiment, but no official announcement has been made. This development could reshape competition in the AI chip space if realized.
