OpenAI claims Jalapeño chip beats Nvidia on GPT-OSS, DeepSeek R1, Kimi K2.5 with 1.5x-1.9x efficiency and 1.7x-3.6x latency
↗
OpenAI reports its Jalapeño chip outperformed Nvidia's superchips on an AI inference benchmark, delivering 1.5x-1.9x more work per watt and 1.7x-3.6x lower latency across GPT-OSS, DeepSeek R1, and Kimi K2.5 1T.
For engineers running large language models, the claimed efficiency and latency gains could translate to lower inference costs and faster responses. However, these are vendor-reported benchmark numbers, so independent verification is needed before making hardware decisions.

OpenAI claims its Jalapeño chip delivers 1.5x-1.9x more AI work per watt than Nvidia chips.
The chip reportedly achieves 1.7x-3.6x lower latency across GPT-OSS, DeepSeek R1, and Kimi K2.5 1T.
These results come from an AI inference benchmark test, not real-world production workloads.
