'Nothing new to announce' on possible chip collaboration with Samsung: OpenAI

OpenAI Korea has stated there is no new information to share regarding a potential collaboration with Samsung Electronics for the development of next-generation semiconductors, in response to recent reports. The company clarified that its reference to expanding cooperation with Samsung was made in light of Samsung's decision to introduce ChatGPT and a letter of intent (LOI) announced last October.
OpenAI Korea emphasized that they have not announced any plans to develop chips through Samsung. On Wednesday, various media outlets claimed that OpenAI was strengthening its ties with Samsung, citing remarks from the company's regional chief during a press conference. According to the report, Kim Kyung-hoon, general manager of OpenAI Korea, said that the most significant progress and recognition they have achieved with Samsung Electronics was in joint production and research on the next-generation chips they are developing.
This assertion followed OpenAI's announcement in June of a custom AI chip, named Jalapeno, co-designed with Broadcom. The 2025 OpenAI-Samsung LOI pertains to supplying advanced semiconductor solutions for OpenAI's Stargate initiative, a project targeting the construction of large AI data centers in the United States.
