OpenAI's layout in consumer devices, robotics, and data centers is accelerating. According to recent reports, OpenAI has issued procurement requests to domestic manufacturers in the United States. These RFPs cover key components such as silicon chips, motors, packaging materials, and data center cooling systems.

This move reflects OpenAI's emphasis on hardware vertical integration. By collaborating with local suppliers, it can ensure supply chain stability and promote the participation of American manufacturing. From chips to cooling solutions, the comprehensive procurement demonstrates its ambition in AI infrastructure development — not only to lead in software but also to establish a closed-loop hardware ecosystem.
