DIGITIMES ASIA: Meta-backed OCP pushes open alternative to closed AI hardware ecosystem
TAIPEI, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As surging demand threatens to fragment the supply chain into costly proprietary silos, the Open Compute Project, an nonprofit organization that has standardized data center hardware for tech giants like Meta and Microsoft, has positioned itself as the antidote to a looming crisis in AI infrastructure, with CEO George Tchaparian pointing out that open hardware standards will prevent market fragmentation as AI infrastructure demands explode. Tchaparian warned that AI's unique requirements are pushing the industry toward dangerous specialization. Without coordinated standards, he argued, the race to build ever-larger AI clusters could splinter the market and drive up costs for everyone. "AI workloads are different, much more so than other virtualized and cloud-native applications," Tchaparian said in a recent interview. "In the pursuit of greater performance, infrastructure specialization for some workload categories is burgeoning, but risks fracturing the supply chain into silos." The stakes are enormous. Current projections suggest AI and high-performance computing buildouts between 2024 and 2028 will push data center power consumption to "dangerously high levels," according to Tchaparian. Annual carbon emissions from these facilities are expected to grow exponentially, creating what he calls a concerning impact on humanity. The Chiplet Gambit OCP's answer lies in what Tchaparian calls the "Open Chiplet Economy" - a standardized marketplace where semiconductor components can be mixed and matched like Lego blocks. The organization has launched a dedicated marketplace section featuring over 25 chiplet suppliers, aiming to create the industry's first truly interoperable silicon ecosystem. "The next inflection point for the silicon supply chain is open," Tchaparian said. "Developing an open stand-alone chiplet silicon supply chain will require a rethink of the supply chain." The approach mirrors OCP's successful standardization of server hardware over the past decade, which helped hyperscalers slash costs and accelerate innovation. Now, with AI clusters demanding unprecedented compute density - including proposed 1-megawatt racks - the organization is betting that open standards can prevent the kind of vendor lock-in that has historically plagued enterprise technology. The strategy carries particular significance for the Asia-Pacific region, where Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturing dominance intersects with surging AI infrastructure demand. OCP counts over 130 APAC members and is preparing for its 2025 summit in Taipei, designed to address regional supply chain challenges. "In APAC, a manufacturing hub, we're engaging through collaborations with local organizations such as ITRI and IOWN," Tchaparian said, referring to Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute and Japan's Innovative Optical and Wireless Network initiative. The timing appears strategic. As geopolitical tensions reshape global technology supply chains, OCP's open approach offers an alternative to the proprietary ecosystems that have dominated AI development. Major players, including Nvidia, Intel, and AMD, are participating in the organization's "Open Systems for AI" initiative, launched in January 2024. Beyond cost and compatibility, Tchaparian frames open standards as essential for addressing AI's environmental impact. OCP has established formal partnerships with organizations like iMasons to develop standardized methods for reporting carbon emissions in IT equipment production - information intended to influence purchasing decisions. "We must reduce the environmental impact of today's computational infrastructure," he said. The organization is even funding research into reducing concrete's carbon footprint, a major source of emissions in data center construction. For companies navigating this transformation, Tchaparian offers straightforward advice: "Eighty percent of success is just showing up." Even without formal membership, organizations can participate in OCP's collaborative development process, gaining access to cutting-edge designs and influence over future standards. The test will come as AI infrastructure demands continue their exponential growth. If OCP succeeds in creating truly interoperable standards, it could prevent the kind of market fragmentation that has historically driven up technology costs. If it fails, the AI boom may leave the industry more fractured - and expensive - than ever. The 2025 OCP APAC Summit will be held in Taipei, featuring discussions on next-generation data center infrastructure and emerging technologies.

Chip‑Scale Interconnect Boosted as Tenstorrent Acquires Blue Cheetah
Tenstorrent has acquired Blue Cheetah Analog Design, integrating the startup's expert team and chiplet interconnect IP into its in‑house capabilities, advancing its strategy for high‑performance AI hardware. The Canadian‑based AI chipmaker announced on 1 July 2025 that it has secured Blue Cheetah, a Sunnyvale‑headquartered innovator specialising in analog and mixed‑signal IP for chiplet designs. The move brings Blue Cheetah's BlueLynx die‑to‑die interconnect subsystem—compatible with Open Compute Project's Bunch of Wires and Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express standards—directly under Tenstorrent's control. Blue Cheetah, founded in 2018 and backed by Marvell luminaries Dr Sehat Sutardja and Weili Dai, has established a reputation for delivering customizable interconnect IP across various foundries and nodes. The startup's executive and engineering teams are led by co‑founder and CEO Dr Elad Alon, a recognised expert in analog/mixed‑signal design and technical lead for the Bunch of Wires PHY standard. ADVERTISEMENT According to Tenstorrent CEO Jim Keller, the acquisition will 'accelerate our chiplet vision of creating an open chiplet ecosystem, with open interconnects optimised for each specific chiplet socket'. Bringing critical analog capabilities in‑house is expected to enhance performance and efficiency in AI systems, especially as chiplet architectures gain prominence in scaling compute workloads. Dr Alon stated that Blue Cheetah had long collaborated with Tenstorrent as a customer and partner, and the merger will allow them to amplify their impact on chiplet ecosystems worldwide. This deal marks Tenstorrent's first semiconductor acquisition in the United States, and builds on its previous licensing agreement with Blue Cheetah for die‑to‑die interconnect technology in its AI and RISC‑V chiplet solutions. Analysts suggest that this vertical integration provides Tenstorrent with tighter control over its interconnect IP roadmap, reducing dependency on external vendors and improving time‑to‑market for future designs. Tenstorrent's global operations span offices in Austin, Silicon Valley, Toronto, Belgrade, Seoul, Tokyo and Bangalore, supported by investors including Eclipse Ventures, Samsung Catalyst Fund and Hyundai Motor Group. Blue Cheetah's integration deepens those ties, offering advanced analog interconnect capabilities critical to chiplet‑based AI and high‑performance computing platforms. Industry observers highlight the timing of the acquisition as significant. As demand grows for modular chiplet architectures—driven by the escalating compute requirements of AI workloads—having proprietary, standards‑compliant interconnect IP in‑house may enable Tenstorrent to lead in chiplet performance and ecosystem development. Their strategy aligns with Open Compute Project's push for interoperable chiplet interfaces, signalling potential influence on emerging chiplet standards. The hardware industry continues to shift from monolithic to chiplet‑driven designs, balancing energy efficiency, yield, and scalability. Tenstorrent's move mirrors broader efforts among AI‑hardware firms to secure key IP layers critical to end‑to‑end system performance. The Blue Cheetah team brings deep expertise in D2D, DDR, SerDes and physical‑link design—capabilities that are increasingly rare and valuable.' Dr Alon shared on LinkedIn that the integration of Blue Cheetah's team into Tenstorrent reflects a shared vision to 'build simple and comparable chiplet ecosystems,' noting the appreciation extended to partners, investors and employees as they embark on this 'tremendous impact' together.
