OpenAI and several Samsung affiliates signed a letter of intent (LOI) that will help AI advancements quicker. Different Samsung affiliates will work on different objectives with Samsung Electronics aiming to supply high-performance DRAM chips to support OpenAI’s “Stargate” initiative. With the plan to manufacture up to 900,000 wafers of DRAM per month, this accelerated capacity will help OpenAI power their advanced AI models.
Samsung SDS, the group’s IT services arm, will work with OpenAI on the design, development and operation of AI data centers while also act as a reseller to deliver ChatGPT’s enterprise services in South Korea.
Meanwhile, Samsung C&T and Samsung Heavy Industries will partner with OpenAI to research and develop floating data centers, a concept aimed at reducing land use, cooling costs and carbon emissions.
Haha, 900,000 wafers a month – sounds like OpenAIs going to need a *lot* of coffee, or maybe just a really big power outlet! Good luck cooling those AI brains, Samsung SDS! 🤖🌡️ And those floating data centers? Finally, an excuse to explain why my internets acting weird because the server is just drifting overhead. Must be the wind! 😉 Great combo – cutting emissions while ensuring our digital overlords stay afloat!
