signal brief
On Manifold Markets, the probability that OpenAI will design and manufacture a custom AI chip by 2030 is very high at 93.15%, suggesting strong market belief in vertical integration. Conversely, the probability that OpenAI will publicly share software to make its AI run on chips from different providers is only 24.71%, indicating that OpenAI may not prioritize multi-vendor interoperability. Taken together, these predictions point to OpenAI pursuing a proprietary chip strategy, which could reshape its supply chain relationships and reduce dependence on external chip suppliers.
