OpenAI’s Jalapeño is a custom accelerator designed specifically for AI inference, particularly the low-latency, multi-chip workloads behind interactive and agentic systems. Its central idea is that useful performance cannot be reduced to peak floating-point operations or memory bandwidth. What matters is how quickly … Read More
Here’s what the presentations selected for the 2026 Hot Chips Conference tell us about what Silicon Valley companies are doing these days.
The conference, running this week at Stanford’s Memorial Auditorium, doesn’t publish detailed abstracts ahead of time, but the program itself, just the lineup of who’s presenting what, … Read More
Agentrys believes that a purpose-built multi-agent system for chip design shouldn’t be a quarter-long project. Agentic AI systems are becoming quite popular to cut design time and increase quality for complex chip design projects. The challenge is finding the right agentic flow for a particular application. There are… Read More
