OpenAI COO: AI Bottleneck Has Shifted from Power to Memory-Chip

According to 1M AI News's monitoring, OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap stated at the Hill and Valley Forum in Washington that the memory chip shortage is the primary bottleneck for the current expansion of AI infrastructure: "It's memory now. It used to be power."

Tech companies are consuming an increasing amount of memory chip capacity, with heavy purchases of NVIDIA AI accelerators being a major factor. The memory shortage has spread from the AI industry to consumer electronics and automotive sectors.
