This article will bring you the latest news in the field of artificial intelligence, including OpenAIs chip mass production plan, its first Super Bowl ad, and the ban on DeepSeek in New York.
OpenAI plans to mass-produce its self-developed AI training chips in 2026
It is reported that OpenAI is making intensive progress in the design of its first custom AI training chip, and it has now entered the tape-out stage, which is the last step before semiconductor manufacturing. This chip will initially be deployed on a small scale in OpenAIs internal infrastructure, and it will be capable of both training and running AI models.
Despite this, OpenAI will continue to use AMDs chips and is reportedly collaborating with Broadcom to develop custom AI hardware. This series of moves indicates that OpenAI is actively deploying in the hardware field, aiming to gain a more advantageous position in the future AI competition.
OpenAIs first Super Bowl ad: will ChatGPT be compared with human great inventions
OpenAI aired its first ad during this years Super Bowl, costing a whopping $14 million. The ad compares ChatGPT with the greatest inventions in human history (such as fire, the wheel, and the internet), aiming to showcase the potential of AI to 130 million viewers and make it as ubiquitous as smartphones.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that this Super Bowl ad marks the dawn of a new era for AI. By bringing ChatGPT in front of such a massive audience, OpenAI hopes to accelerate the popularization and application of AI technology.
DeepSeek banned in New York due to data security concerns
New York Governor Kathy Hochul confirmed that due to serious concerns about the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, New York has banned the use of DeepSeek on government devices and networks. This ban means that New York state employees will not be able to download DeepSeek on devices issued by the government.
It is reported that DeepSeek stores data from US users in China. In addition, DeepSeek has hired at least four employees who previously worked at Microsofts China AI lab, which has been criticized by US lawmakers for potentially posing a national security threat.
DeepSeek, founded in 2023, launched two AI models, DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1, which are said to have reached or even exceeded the performance of many popular AI models in the US.
Summary
The development of artificial intelligence is progressing rapidly, and companies are actively deploying their strategies, with competition intensifying. OpenAIs investment in hardware and marketing, as well as the controversy surrounding DeepSeeks data security, all reflect the rapid changes and potential challenges in this field.
