Discover the measurable impacts of AI agents for customer support

How Did Papaya Slash Support Costs Without Adding Headcount?

When Papaya saw support tickets surge, they faced a tough choice: hire more agents or risk slower service. Instead, they found a third option—one that scaled their support without scaling their team.

The secret? An AI-powered support agent from Maven AGI that started resolving customer inquiries on day one.

With Maven AGI, Papaya now handles 90% of inquiries automatically - cutting costs in half while improving response times and customer satisfaction. No more rigid decision trees. No more endless manual upkeep. Just fast, accurate answers at scale.

The best part? Their human team is free to focus on the complex, high-value issues that matter most.

OpenAI just took a massive leap toward full-stack independence. The company announced a strategic collaboration with Broadcom to develop and deploy 10 gigawatts of custom AI accelerators — a scale rivaling the power footprint of an entire small nation.

By designing its own chips and systems in-house, OpenAI aims to embed everything it has learned from training frontier models directly into the hardware — bridging the gap between software intelligence and physical silicon.

đź’ˇ Why This Matters

Until now, OpenAI has depended on external suppliers like NVIDIA and AMD for GPU compute.
This move changes everything.

By building its own accelerators:

  • Performance: Custom silicon can be optimized for OpenAI’s transformer architectures and inference pipelines.

  • Efficiency: Broadcom’s Ethernet-based interconnects reduce latency and power consumption.

  • Scale: 10 GW of compute can support the next generations of GPT-5, multimodal agents, and even AGI-level models.

In simple terms: OpenAI is building the engine room for artificial general intelligence.

đź§  Inside the Collaboration

Broadcom will co-develop and manufacture OpenAI-designed accelerators and networking systems, integrating:

  • Ethernet-based rack-scale networking for high-speed AI clusters

  • PCIe and optical connectivity solutions for data movement at scale

  • Custom power-efficient chip designs tailored to OpenAI workloads

“Partnering with Broadcom is a critical step in building the infrastructure needed to unlock AI’s potential,”
“Developing our own accelerators adds to the broader ecosystem of partners building capacity to push the frontier of AI.”

said Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO

Hock Tan, CEO of Broadcom, called it “a pivotal moment in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence.”

⚙️ Strategic Implications

  • For OpenAI: Vertical integration gives tighter control over model cost, energy use, and deployment speed — critical as model scales explode.

  • For Broadcom: Cementing itself as the backbone of the AI networking stack — rivaling NVIDIA’s NVLink ecosystem.

  • For the Industry: This partnership may signal a post-GPU era where AI labs design proprietary chips tuned to their architectures — much like Apple’s M-series chips transformed computing.

🌍 The Bigger Picture

OpenAI now reaches 800 million weekly active users across its apps and API ecosystem.
This collaboration ensures that future models — whether GPT-6, multimodal agents, or self-improving systems — have the physical compute to match their ambition.

“Our collaboration with Broadcom will power breakthroughs in AI and bring the technology’s full potential closer to reality,”

said Greg Brockman, OpenAI President.

đź”® FutureGen Take

This is more than a hardware partnership — it’s a geopolitical and economic statement.
AI is now measured in gigawatts, not gigabytes. Whoever controls compute capacity controls the frontier of intelligence.
