OPINION: On June 24, OpenAI unveiled its first custom-built inference chip, developed with Broadcom and known internally as “Jalapeño.” Most Americans will never see it. Yet Beijing certainly noticed.

It’s inevitable. “The question is not whether AI is going to impact education. The real question is whether we will shape its use thoughtfully. Responsibly,” said Delaware Secretary of Education Cindy Marten during a recent Senate hearing.
