During a briefing with reporters, OpenAI hardware vice president Richard Ho said Jalapeño offers the "best of both worlds" with lower latency and higher throughput, as AI systems typically "have to make a trade-off between the two." First introduced in June, Jalapeño is an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) made in partnership with Broadcom. It's designed for AI inference - the process of running a trained AI mod...

OpenAI has had a hell of a year. The company spent months battling former co-founder Elon Musk in a sensational jury trial, was hit with a high-profile trade secrets lawsuit from Apple, and faced widespread scrutiny after an unreleased model hacked another AI company. As it prepares for an IPO, a steady string of executives have departed, including some of the company's biggest names. Throughout it all, one person has quietly amassed power: Greg Brockman. Brockman is currently OpenAI's president and co-founder. He's helped lead OpenAI since its inception, described as an "engineering workhors...

Today on Decoder, I’m talking with Robert Hart, The Verge’s London-based AI reporter, about what AI is doing to the field of mathematics and the existential crisis many lead mathematicians are having about it. OpenAI just published a set of solutions to longstanding problems in math that went off like a bombshell in the field. It caused a huge debate in the math community, and Rob spent some time talking to some of the most accomplished mathematicians of our time about it. It’s funny that AI systems are all still pretty bad at elementary school arithmetic, but getting increasingly good at ver...

With a looming IPO, intense competition from Anthropic, and Chinese and open-weight rivals nipping at its heels, OpenAI has plenty of reasons to move fast. Instead, it hit the brakes. On Tuesday, the company said it had slowed the pace of some AI development while it tightened security and safeguards. That included a two-week pause in reinforcement learning training on its "latest models intended for deployment," and an ongoing delay to its "largest planned frontier RL run." The decision is a very public test of an idea AI safety advocates have pushed for for years: that companies should be w...
