OpenAI Diversifies Chip Supply, Launches New AI Platform
OpenAI has taken a significant step away from its reliance on Nvidia, deploying Cerebras Systems’ chips for its new GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark model. This marks the first time the artificial intelligence giant has utilized a production deployment outside of Nvidia’s ecosystem, Bloomberg reported on February 15, 2026. The move signals a broadening of OpenAI’s hardware strategy as demand for AI processing power continues to surge.
The GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark model is designed for “near-instant” code generation, according to VentureBeat. This capability is expected to be particularly valuable for enterprise customers seeking to accelerate software development. OpenAI likewise launched “Frontier,” a platform aimed at bolstering artificial intelligence within the corporate sector, Tom’s Hardware reported. The platform is designed to manage AI agents.
The development comes as OpenAI seeks to expand its offerings beyond its widely recognized consumer-facing products. The company’s decision to incorporate Cerebras chips reflects a growing interest in diversifying supply chains and exploring alternative hardware solutions to meet the escalating demands of AI workloads. Several reports originating in Arabic media outlets also covered the launches, including a report from جولة, a report from الهيئة الوطنية للإعلام, a report from Al Akhbar, a report from المشهد العربي, and a report from Arageek.
