- 博通计划部署机架式 AI 加速器和网络系统，目标于 2026 年下半年开始部署，并于 2029 年底前完成
旧金山与帕洛阿尔托——2025 年 10 月 13 日——OpenAI 与博通今日宣布就 10 吉瓦（gigawatt）定制 AI 加速器达成合作。OpenAI 将设计这些加速器和系统，并与博通合作开发与部署。通过自行设计芯片和系统，OpenAI 能将从开发前沿模型和产品中获得的经验直接嵌入硬件，从而释放新的能力和智能水平。这些机架将完全采用博通的以太网及其他互联解决方案进行扩展，将满足全球对 AI 激增的需求，并将在 OpenAI 的设施和合作数据中心部署。
OpenAI 与博通就共研与供应 AI 加速器已有长期协议。双方已签署一份条款清单，拟部署包含 AI 加速器和博通网络解决方案的机架。
“与博通合作是构建解锁 AI 潜力并为人们和企业带来实际益处所需基础设施的关键一步，”OpenAI 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Sam Altman 表示。“开发我们自己的加速器，补充了由众多合作伙伴共同构建以推动 AI 前沿所需能力的更广泛生态系统，旨在为全人类带来益处。”
“博通与 OpenAI 的合作标志着在追求人工通用智能道路上的一个关键时刻，”博通总裁兼首席执行官 Hock Tan 表示。“自 ChatGPT 问世以来，OpenAI 一直处于 AI 革命的前沿，我们很高兴能共同开发并部署 10 吉瓦的下一代加速器和网络系统，为 AI 的未来铺路。”
“我们与博通的合作将推动 AI 的突破，并使这项技术的全部潜力更为接近现实，”OpenAI 联合创始人兼总裁 Greg Brockman 表示。“通过打造我们自己的芯片，我们可以将从创建前沿模型和产品中学到的东西直接嵌入硬件，释放新的能力和智能水平。”
“我们与 OpenAI 的合作继续为开放、可扩展且高能效的 AI 集群设计与部署树立行业新标杆，”博通半导体解决方案事业部总裁 Charlie Kawwas 博士表示。“定制加速器与基于标准的以太网纵向和横向扩展网络解决方案极为契合，可提供成本和性能优化的下一代 AI 基础设施。机架包括博通端到端的以太网、PCIe 与光互联解决方案，重申了我们在 AI 基础设施组合方面的领导地位。”
对于博通而言，此次合作强调了定制加速器的重要性以及在 AI 数据中心中选择以太网作为纵向与横向扩展网络技术的合理性。
OpenAI 的周活跃用户已增长至超过 8 亿，并在全球企业、中小型企业和开发者中获得广泛采用。此次合作将帮助 OpenAI 推进其使命，确保人工通用智能造福全人类。

News:
- OpenAI and Broadcom will co-develop systems that include accelerators and Ethernet solutions from Broadcom for scale-up and scale-out
- Broadcom to deploy racks of AI accelerator and network systems targeted to start in the second half of 2026, to complete by end of 2029
San Francisco and Palo Alto—October 13, 2025—OpenAI and Broadcom today announced a collaboration for 10 gigawatts of custom AI accelerators. OpenAI will design the accelerators and systems, which will be developed and deployed in partnership with Broadcom. By designing its own chips and systems, OpenAI can embed what it’s learned from developing frontier models and products directly into the hardware, unlocking new levels of capability and intelligence. The racks, scaled entirely with Ethernet and other connectivity solutions from Broadcom, will meet surging global demand for AI, with deployments across OpenAI’s facilities and partner data centers.
OpenAI and Broadcom have long-standing agreements on the co-development and supply of the AI accelerators. The two companies have signed a term sheet to deploy racks incorporating the AI accelerators and Broadcom networking solutions.
“Partnering with Broadcom is a critical step in building the infrastructure needed to unlock AI’s potential and deliver real benefits for people and businesses,” said Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI. “Developing our own accelerators adds to the broader ecosystem of partners all building the capacity required to push the frontier of AI to provide benefits to all humanity.”
“Broadcom’s collaboration with OpenAI signifies a pivotal moment in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence,” said Hock Tan, President and CEO of Broadcom. “OpenAI has been in the forefront of the AI revolution since the ChatGPT moment, and we are thrilled to co-develop and deploy 10 gigawatts of next generation accelerators and network systems to pave the way for the future of AI.”
“Our collaboration with Broadcom will power breakthroughs in AI and bring the technology’s full potential closer to reality,” said OpenAI co-founder and President, Greg Brockman. “By building our own chip, we can embed what we’ve learned from creating frontier models and products directly into the hardware, unlocking new levels of capability and intelligence.”
“Our partnership with OpenAI continues to set new industry benchmarks for the design and deployment of open, scalable and power-efficient AI clusters,” said Charlie Kawwas, Ph. D., President of the Semiconductor Solutions Group for Broadcom. “Custom accelerators combine remarkably well with standards-based Ethernet scale-up and scale-out networking solutions to provide cost and performance optimized next generation AI infrastructure. The racks include Broadcom’s end-to-end portfolio of Ethernet, PCIe and optical connectivity solutions, reaffirming our AI infrastructure portfolio leadership.”
For Broadcom, this collaboration reinforces the importance of custom accelerators and the choice of Ethernet as the technology for scale-up and scale-out networking in AI datacenters.
OpenAI has grown to over 800 million weekly active users and strong adoption across global enterprises, small businesses, and developers. This collaboration will help OpenAI advance its mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.
