OpenAI and Samsung partner to develop artificial intelligence infrastructure
By ForGeeks
In a major collaboration announced at a ceremony in Seoul, Samsung and OpenAI have agreed to joint projects in semiconductors, data centers, shipbuilding, cloud services and marine technologies.
A key focus of the agreement is Samsung Electronics’ participation as a strategic memory supply partner for OpenAI Project Stargate initiative, a large-scale next-generation infrastructure project for artificial intelligence. Under this partnership, Samsung will supply energy-efficient DRAM solutions capable of meeting OpenAI’s demand for up to 900,000 wafers per month, underscoring the company’s commitment to meeting the increased demand for computing resources.
In addition, Samsung SDS will design and operate AI-powered data centers and become a ChatGPT Enterprise reseller in South Korea, helping local companies implement and scale OpenAI solutions.
The focus is on floating data centers, an innovative alternative to traditional solutions that can reduce costs, environmental impact and address the lack of land for construction. These facilities will be able to run on solar power, batteries, and even nuclear reactors, making them a sustainable and highly flexible data solution.

The announcement of the collaboration comes shortly after news of Nvidia’s significant $100 billion investment in OpenAI, underscoring the organization’s growing desire to reduce its dependence on major partner Microsoft and develop its own infrastructure. Competition in artificial intelligence is rapidly intensifying, and big moves like this allow OpenAI to strengthen its position to compete with giants such as Meta* and Google.
At the same time, OpenAI’s investment in Nvidia’s artificial intelligence business has been a major boost to the organization’s bottom line.
