A self-identified OpenAI employee has leaked details about a possible hardware announcement anticipated for 2026, suggesting a significant reveal during the Super Bowl.

The post included a screenshot of marketing materials hinting at a new AI processing unit designed to enhance machine learning capabilities. If true, this hardware could position OpenAI at the forefront of the AI revolution, competing with established players like Nvidia and AMD.
