OPENAI and Samsung and signed a letter of intent for a radical partnership that extends over semiconductors, data centers, shipbuilding, Cloud services and sea technologies.
The announcement was made during a ceremony in Seoul to which held senior managers of all Samsung companies in electronics, naval manufacturer, construction and IT services.
The agreement stipulates that Samsung Electronics will act as a strategic memory partner for the Stargate initiative of the Openai project, which aims to develop masses of new AI infrastructures.
Floating data centers
OPENAI has planned that its memory request could reach 900,000 DRAM brochures per month, and Samsung will provide high performance and energy efficient memory solutions to meet the requirement.
Samsung SDS will work with OPENAI to design, develop and use AI data centers and provide AI services to business.
He will also act as a reseller of the Chatgpt company of Openai in Korea, supporting adoption by local businesses.
Samsung Heavy Industries and Samsung C&T will collaborate with OPENAI on floating data centers, with possible expansion in floating power plants and control centers.
“Floating data centers … can approach land shortage, reduce cooling costs and reduce carbon emissions,” said companies in their letter of intent.
As The battery Notes, floating data centers are rare, but interest increases. The Stockton project in California has been taking place since 2021, Japanese companies and the city of Yokohama provide a solar and battery design, and in June 2025, the American Bureau of Shipping and Herbert Engineering proposed a concept of floating nuclear propulsion data center.
The announcement comes a few days after we revealed that Nvidia had paid $ 100 billion into Openai (to spend for Nvidia’s own chips, of course), and suggests that the Chatgpt creator seeks to reduce his dependence on hyperscaler partners such as Microsoft.
With competitors of AI like Meta and Google by quickly expanding their own infrastructure, there is increasing pressure on Openai to establish itself as a large -scale operator in its own right.
