Mkulu wa OpenAI Sam Altman atha kukhala ndi khutu la omwe akuwoneka ngati capitalist aliyense ku Silicon Valley, koma mabwana aku Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) sachita chidwi kwambiri. Pa a New York Times lipoti lakumayambiriro kwa sabata ino, utsogoleri wa TSMC udakana Altman ngati “podcasting bro” ndipo adanyoza mapulani ake okwana $ 7 thililiyoni omanga mbewu 36 zatsopano zopanga chip ndi malo opangira ma data a AI.
Nkhani zimabwera pambuyo pa Altman’s ulendo wovuta wa PR wa opanga ma chips aku Asia m’nyengo yozizira yatha pamene adakumana ndi Samsung ndi SK Hynix, kuwonjezera pa TSMC, pofunafuna ndalama za zolinga zanzeru za OpenAI. Malinga ndi Times, utsogoleri wamkulu wa TSMC adanyoza Altman pambuyo pake $ 7 thililiyoni (ndiyo thililiyoni ndi pempho la “T”).
Ngakhale Altman sanatsimikizire kuti akufuna kupanga chipmaking, masomphenya ake owoneka bwino amatha kupangitsa OpenAI kupikisana mwachindunji ndi onse a Nvidia ndi TSMC okhala ndi ma chipset opangidwa m’nyumba. Akuti ndalamazo zitha kufalikira kwa zaka zingapo pomwe luso lopanga zinthu likukula. Koma akuluakulu a TSMC adakayikira poyera momwe angachepetsere zovuta zachuma zomwe zimagwirizanitsidwa ndi ndondomeko yotereyi.
Aka sikoyamba kuti TSMC ipange mthunzi ku OpenAI. Pamsonkhano wake wapachaka wa 2024, woyambitsa TSMC komanso CEO Dr. CC Wei adatchula Altman ngati “wankhanza kwambiri, wankhanza kwambiri kuti ndisakhulupirire.”
OpenAI ilibe kusowa kwa omwe angabwereke ndalama, samalani. Kampaniyo adalandira $ 13 biliyoni kuchokera ku Microsoft mu 2024 ndipo akuti akutseka ndalama zina zokwana $6.5 biliyoni zomwe zitha kutha kumapeto kwa sabata yamawa. Mphekesera zikunenedwanso kuti kampaniyo ikukonzekera kusiya bizinesi yake yopanda phindu kuti ipange phindu pofuna kudzipangitsa kukhala yokopa kwa osunga ndalama.
Malinga ndi lipoti lochokera kwa a Wall Street Journalngakhale ndalama za OpenAI zanena $4 biliyoni pachaka, kampaniyo ikutaya pafupifupi kuwirikiza kawiri ndalamazo ($ 7 biliyoni) chaka chilichonse. Mfundo yoti OpenAI’s C-suite yakhala khomo lozungulira la oyang’anira kusiya kampaniyo (CTO Mira Murati, CRO Bob McGrewndi mkulu wofufuza kafukufuku Barret Zoph, onse adasiya ntchito kumayambiriro kwa sabata ino) ndithudi sizingathandizenso kuchepetsa nkhawa za osunga ndalama.
