OpenAI and Samsung expand chip and AI partnership
OpenAI and Samsung are deepening their collaboration to include joint production of next-generation AI chips, moving beyond memory supply to address massive data center demand. By potentially double-sourcing silicon with TSMC, the AI giant aims to secure greater manufacturing capacity and supply chain resilience for its custom accelerators.
According to Tom's Hardware, OpenAI is reportedly preparing to double-source its next-generation AI ASICs by partnering with Samsung Foundry alongside TSMC, a move that signals massive volume requirements for its data center silicon. This expansion goes beyond simple memory supply, potentially leveraging Samsung's recent $200 billion strategic partnership with Broadcom to secure additional manufacturing capacity for OpenAI's custom accelerators.
