OpenAI announced partnerships with South Korean tech conglomerates Samsung and SK on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.
The partnerships will provide chips and other solutions for the $500 billion project Stargate, which aims to build artificial intelligence infrastructure.
According to the companies’ statements, the partnerships commit Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the world’s two largest makers of memory chips, to accelerating production of advanced chips to meet OpenAI’s rising memory demands for the Stargate initiative.
The maker of ChatGPT also reached agreements with SK Telecom to explore building an AI data center in South Korea, and with other Samsung affiliates to collaborate on data center technologies and possibly expand local capacity.
