Update – Friday 11 Sept, 9am ET: <\/strong>An OpenAI spokesperson has given Tom’s Hardware<\/em> the following statement: “The reference to expanding our collaboration with Samsung was made in the context of our existing relationship, including Samsung Electronics\u2019 adoption of ChatGPT and the LOI announced last October. We have nothing new to announce. We did not announce plans to manufacture chips through Samsung.”
The original story remains below as published. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

OpenAI is expanding its relationship with Samsung beyond memory supply and enterprise software as the AI giant plans to outsource production of at least some of its processors to Samsung Foundry, Harrison Kim, General Manager of OpenAI Korea, revealed this week. If the information is accurate, then OpenAI will source its AI accelerators from both TSMC and Samsung Foundry, which suggests massive volume requirements.<\/p>\n
