"OpenAI is teaming up with South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix for "strategic partnerships" to supply the advanced computer chips needed for its mammoth Stargate project. The Korean firms said they will scale production in order to meet OpenAI's growing demand for memory chips needed to power its compute-hungry AI models. OpenAI said it expects to need as many as 900,000 semiconductor wafers each month from the two firms."
"OpenAI said it is also in talks with the companies to open two AI data centers in South Korea. Samsung said it would also explore the possibility of floating data centers, which it says could cut costs and reduce carbon emissions. The partnerships are the latest in a series of strategic moves for OpenAI as it secures compute, power, and cash for its AI projects."
OpenAI has formed strategic partnerships with Samsung and SK Hynix to secure advanced memory chips for its Stargate project. The Korean firms will scale production to meet growing demand, and OpenAI expects up to 900,000 semiconductor wafers per month from both suppliers. OpenAI is also negotiating to open two AI data centers in South Korea. Samsung will explore floating data centers to lower costs and emissions. These partnerships align with broader efforts to secure compute, power, and capital for AI expansion, following Nvidia's recent commitment of up to $100 billion to support scaling.
