signal brief
Prediction market data from Manifold Markets shows a 93.15% consensus that OpenAI will design and manufacture a custom AI chip by 2030 (source 2). In contrast, the probability of OpenAI publicly sharing software to run its AI on chips from different providers in 2026 is only 24.71% (source 1). This suggests OpenAI is likely to pursue vertical integration in chip design rather than rely on multi-vendor compatibility. While no official announcement has been made, the high market probability indicates strong belief in OpenAI's custom chip efforts, which could reshape its reliance on GPU vendors like NVIDIA and boost demand for foundry services from TSMC.
