signal brief
Prediction markets on Manifold indicate a 93.15% probability that OpenAI will design and manufacture a custom AI chip by 2030 (Source 2). Additionally, there is a 24.71% probability that OpenAI will publicly share software enabling its AI to run on chips from different providers (Source 1), suggesting some effort toward hardware flexibility. While not confirmed, these bets from informed participants point to a strong expectation of vertical integration into chip design, which could impact reliance on external GPU suppliers. The high probability implies market confidence in OpenAI's chip ambitions.
