'The chip ‘war’: Microsoft may launch its own AI processor next month'

Microsoft is reportedly planning to unveil its first AI chip, codenamed "Athena," at its annual developers' conference. The chip is designed to process AI models and could help the company reduce its reliance on Nvidia-designed AI chips, which have been facing supply constraints due to high demand. OpenAI, on the other hand, is also considering making its own AI chip, following discussions on AI chip strategies. Google and Amazon already have their own AI chips for training and inferencing.
