OpenAI announced that Chairman Lee and CEO Altman are scheduled to hold a meeting with key executives from both companies in San Francisco on the morning of the 25th (local time).
The two sides are expected to focus their discussions on ways to collaborate in the field of AI infrastructure, including high-bandwidth memory (HBM), DRAM, and advanced foundry services.
Plans to apply generative AI across SamsungElectronics’ operations are also expected to be a key agenda item. SamsungElectronics is one of OpenAI’s largest global corporate customers and has decided to roll out ChatGPT and the AI coding tool Codex to all its employees.
It is anticipated that this meeting will explore ways to link SamsungElectronics’ memory semiconductor and foundry capabilities with OpenAI’s large-scale AI infrastructure projects. Specific details regarding semiconductor supply volumes, investment規模, and contract schedules have not yet been disclosed.
SamsungElectronics and OpenAI formed a strategic partnership last October and have been collaborating to expand the production of cutting-edge memory semiconductors and build next-generation AI infrastructure.
Prior to his meeting with Chairman Lee, CEO Altman held a one-on-one meeting with President Lee Jae-myung on the 24th.
