OpenAI CEO Sam Altman visited South Korea to meet with top Samsung Electronics and SK Group executives as part of efforts to bring AI chip production in-house. With plans to raise funds for chip fabrication plants and secure High Bandwidth Memory from Korean companies, OpenAI aims to reduce dependence on NVIDIA and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. If successful, OpenAI could lead in both AI software and hardware.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Pursues AI Chip Production
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently visited South Korea to meet with top executives from Samsung Electronics and SK Group to pursue his vision of bringing AI chip production in-house.
Raising Funds for AI Chip Fabrication
Altman aims to raise billions of dollars to set up a network of chip fabrication plants to produce AI chips, addressing the long lead times and growing global demand for AI chips.
High-Performance AI Chip Architecture
High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is a key part of high-performance AI chip architecture. Altman is exploring partnerships with Samsung and SK, who have the world’s highest market share of HBM technology.
Strategic Partnerships and Investment
Altman is in talks to procure HBM from these companies and exploring the possibility of attracting investment for his chip fabrication project. He also met with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) to discuss a chip manufacturing partnership.
US Authorities’ Support for Chip Production
US authorities see substantial risk in the US tech sector’s dependence on chips produced almost exclusively in Taiwan. If Altman secures sufficient funding and IP-sharing partnerships, OpenAI could become a leader in both AI software and hardware.
