Unclogging the Silicon Veins: OpenAI and Tech Giants Standardize AI Networking

OpenAI has partnered with major chipmakers and cloud providers to launch the Multipath Reliable Connection (MRC) protocol, an open standard designed to eliminate data bottlenecks in massive AI clusters. Already deployed in OpenAI's primary supercomputers, the protocol aims to significantly reduce GPU idle time and optimize the energy efficiency of training frontier models.
