OpenAI's Broadcom-Built Jalapeño Chips Reach First Deployment
ESTIMATED76% CONFIDENCECNBC[1] (24 June 2026) reports the companies "are aiming for initial deployment of the Jalapeño chips by the end of 2026", and the release says "designed for initial deployment by the end of 2026", so the pin takes that period's last day; Tan expects "small prototype development" in late 2026, and no deployment had been reported by 23 September 2026.
The first deployment of Jalapeño, the inference accelerator OpenAI designed and Broadcom builds under their 10 GW deal, due by the end of 2026 in data centers with Microsoft and other partners, ahead of a planned 1.3 GW in 2027.
