I wonder when Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI will partner on an open chip design to compete with NVIDIA.

They’re all blowing billions of dollars on NVIDIA hardware with like 70% margin and with triton backing PyTorch it shouldn’t be that hard to move off of CUDA stack.

Each of them is designing their own hardware. The goal isn't really to compete with nvidia though, whose market is general purpose GPU compute. Instead they're customizing hardware for inference to drive down product cost.
