This points to accelerating vertical integration in AI infrastructure, with OpenAI following hyperscalers like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft into custom silicon. The same market set indicates lower expectations for OpenAI publicly sharing multi-provider chip abstraction software (24.71%) and for selling/renting external AI compute by end-2026 (10.83%). Together, the signals suggest OpenAI is more likely to keep hardware enablement internal and prioritize in-house silicon over becoming a compute provider. If OpenAI commits to custom silicon, it could reshape AI chip demand, potentially impacting NVIDIA and other GPU suppliers, though such risk is years away. The near-term signal is about the market's confidence, not an official announcement. No public disclosure from OpenAI was cited; the data comes entirely from Manifold prediction markets.
