OpenAI's Jalapeño chip posts benchmarks

The Signal · 2026-08-26

OpenAI just put silicon on the board. Its Jalapeño chip, built for high-volume inference, ran SemiAnalysis' InferenceX test and reportedly beat the current state of the art on both tokens per user and throughput per kilowatt.

Also today: Taiwan indicted nine people, reportedly including an Nvidia senior manager and two Supermicro employees, over forged documents used to smuggle AI servers to China.

Unitree shares have fallen more than 45% from their post-IPO peak, a hard market signal against climbing robotics valuations.

That's today's Signal. Thanks for watching.
