A new strategic partnership covers advanced memory, data center construction, and even futuristic floating server farms.
Samsung and OpenAI announced a massive strategic partnership to build out AI data center infrastructure. The deal involves multiple Samsung divisions providing everything from advanced memory chips to building futuristic floating data centers.
In what is shaping up to be one of the biggest collaborations in the AI space, Samsung and OpenAI have signed a letter of intent for a massive strategic partnership. This isn’t your typical supplier-customer deal; this is a deep integration that pulls in the full force of the Samsung empire to build the next generation of AI infrastructure.
According to the press release, the partnership is expansive. Samsung Electronics will be a strategic memory partner, supplying advanced DRAM solutions for OpenAI’s ambitious global “Stargate” initiative. Samsung SDS will help design and operate these new AI data centers and resell OpenAI’s enterprise services in Korea. Perhaps the wildest part of the announcement involves Samsung C&T and Samsung Heavy Industries, who will work with OpenAI to develop futuristic floating data centers. Yes, you read that right—data centers on the water.
