Charlie Kawwas, president of the semiconductor solutions group at Broadcom, on Monday suggested that OpenAI is not the mystery $10 billion customer that it announced during its earnings call in September.
Kawwas appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk on The Street” with OpenAI’s President Greg Brockman to discuss their plans to jointly build and deploy 10 gigawatts of custom artificial intelligence accelerators.
The deal was largely expected after analysts were quick to point to OpenAI as Broadcom’s potential new $10 billion partner. But after the companies officially unveiled their plans on Monday, Kawwas said OpenAI does not fit that description.
“I would love to take a $10 billion [purchase order] from my good friend Greg,” Kawwas said. “He has not given me that PO yet.”
