OpenAI Plots Next Subtle Agenda
According to the American entrepreneur, his company generates as much as 100 billion words in one day. He also stated that the entire human race on Earth generates about 100 trillion words per day. This means that the volume of words generated by OpenAI in comparison to that of people is only about 0.1%.
One crypto user reacted to Altman’s post, citing that the company may need more people to generate a larger volume of words. However, the OpenAI CEO quickly corrected the impression, emphasizing that what the company or the world needs are more graphics processing units GPUs rather than people to generate the total words.

It is no longer news that Altman is beginning to pivot towards AI chips, a key component of GPUs. He believes that this technology is crucial for running AI systems that power applications like ChatGPT. Altman’s blueprint for the AI chip involves building numerous chip foundries to augment global chip-building capacity, potentially involving giants like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in their operation.
Ultimately, he thinks that the AI landscape requires more infrastructure, including fabrication capacity, energy resources, and data centers, to meet global demands. The OpenAI CEO is now pursuing trillions of dollars in funding to actualize this AI chip dream.
Industry’s Deepening Strength in AI Chip Ventures
Markedly, OpenAI is not the only AI-centered firm considering this new venture as some of its counterparts have begun to delve into the niche. Nvidia, one of the dominant GPU manufacturers has made significant progress with its AI chip ecosystem as it currently has military entities, state-owned AI research centers, and universities that are actively purchasing batches of its semiconductors.
Similarly, tech firm Microsoft revealed its plan to introduce its AI chip codenamed Athena last year.
Apart from the talks about AI chips, some other interesting events have been happening at OpenAI. On an annualized basis, OpenAI’s revenue exceeded $2 billion, much to the success recorded by the company’s flagship AI product ChatGPT.
This development makes it one of the fastest-growing technology companies in history.
