That is a striking consensus from the forecasting community and points to broad expectations of OpenAI pushing into internal silicon. By contrast, the market assigns only 24.71% to OpenAI publicly sharing portable multi-vendor chip software in 2026 ([Source 1](https://manifold.markets/Bayesian/will-openai-publicly-share-software)), and just 10.83% to OpenAI selling/renting AI compute externally by end-2026 ([Source 14](https://manifold.markets/RS/openai-sellsrents-ai-compute-to-ext)). The pattern suggests traders expect OpenAI to internalize compute via custom chips rather than become a merchant compute provider or neutral compatibility layer. If a custom silicon effort materializes, it would have clear AI-infrastructure implications: additional foundry/HBM demand, potential competitive pressure on NVIDIA/AMD, and a new large-scale chip buyer. However, prediction markets are not company announcements; the 2030 horizon is long, and the 10-30% tail probabilities on related compute bets indicate uncertainty. This is therefore a low-confidence, forward-looking signal to monitor rather than a confirmed supply-chain event.
