Jalapeño’s first results show industry-leading speed and efficiency in AI inference

OpenAI announced Jalapeño, a custom inference chip (specialized hardware designed to run AI models efficiently) that delivers faster AI responses and uses less power than existing systems. Testing shows Jalapeño can handle 1.5 to 1.9 times more AI work per watt of power and provides 1.7 to 3.6 times lower latency (response delay) across multiple AI models, making AI services faster and more affordable.
