What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Broadcom is reported to hold 75% of the ASIC market for AI inference, with demand estimated to run twice the available supply. The company is currently ramping chips for Meta's MTIA program and OpenAI's Jalapeno chips, in addition to two other customers. Separately, leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX joined a call to discuss pacing AI development due to concerns over unchecked capabilities.
