Hot Chips 2026: OpenAI’s Jalapeño AI ASIC unpacked — accelerator developed using AI achieves efficiency and throughput gains against power-hungry Blackwell

To explain how it works, let us compare OpenAI’s and Nvidia’s approaches. Nvidia’s standard system-level decomposition is primarily two phases: prefill and decode. Prefill is generally compute-bound (which is why Nvidia …

Hot Chips 2026: High Bandwidth Flash promises massive bandwidth and capacity, but its usability is extremely limited — new memory format strikes a balance betwe

Additionally, more local capacity could also reduce communication between accelerators. Conventional expert parallelism distributes experts across GPUs and requires all-to-all communication at every layer. OXMIQ claims t…

Hot Chips 2026: Cerebras lays out the future of wafer-scale AI — Nexus system architecture triples rack-scale performance, CS-6 wafer to incorporate stacked DRA

Mounting the wafer-scale engines vertically in the backpack modules lets Cerebras do away with a PCB or substrate for the wafer to handle all its supporting infrastructure. Instead, the backpack connects the large copper…

Hot Chips 2026: Nvidia presents Groq 3 LPX architecture and unveils its first third-party inference benchmark — LP30-based rack already in production, company s

A Rubin GPU carries 288GB of HBM4 , roughly 576 times the memory of a single LP30, so a 31-billion-parameter model at FP8 needs on the order of 62 LPUs to hold its weights, and a large mixture-of-experts model runs into …
