Broadcom unveiled a custom artificial-intelligence chip developed together with OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. The chip is designed to support OpenAI's future models and products.

Analysts say the move amounts to a direct challenge to Nvidia, which has long led the market for AI accelerators. Large technology firms are increasingly turning to their own custom silicon to reduce reliance on a single supplier.

The custom design aims to meet OpenAI's growing computing needs while keeping costs in check. Investors say the deal could strengthen Broadcom's data-center revenue in the years ahead.
