Samsung is going to play a major role in how OpenAI is going to shape the future of artificial intelligence, as the firm behind ChatGPT builds out its Stargate plans to develop massive AI data centers.

There are many services and products that the various companies under the Samsung conglomerate can sell to OpenAI, and chips are certainly at the top of that list. That's likely why Samsung took people from OpenAI on a tour of its most advanced chipmaking facility.

OpenAI gets to look around Samsung's top secret facility​


Many Samsung companies signed a Letter of Intent with OpenAI yesterday to assist its various objectives. Samsung Electronics will help with memory supply, Samsung C&T and Heavy Industries will work on building AI data centers, particularly floating data centers, while other affiliated companies also provide a range of services.

AI data centers need a lot of memory and Samsung is one of the world's top suppliers of memory, so this is a match made in heaven. Unlike other memory companies, though, Samsung can provide services across the entire semiconductor funnel, from foundry to packaging. OpenAI can get a lot more done in one place at Samsung than it can anywhere else.

Local Korean media is reporting that six research and development personnel from OpenAI were taken on a tour of Samsung's Pyeongtaek campus. This is the company's largest chipmaking facility and also its most advanced anywhere in the world. This is also where Samsung products nearly half of all its DRAM wafers.

DRAM is of particular importance to OpenAI as the firm's DRAM demand is expected to hit 900,000 wafers per month. This would thus be a highly lucrative partnership for Samsung as it seeks to sell shovels to companies that are aiming to maximize on the AI gold rush.
