We all know Sam Altman as the current CEO of OpenAI. However, along with being the head of that company, Altman is also looking for more ways to empower AI technology and make it more mainstream. According to a new report, Sam Altman is visiting Samsung to talk about producing AI-focused semiconductor chips.
Right now, chip manufacturers are focusing on making AI-centric processors. They’re being made with AI in mind so that devices can perform better on-device AI tasks. This means that they won’t be as reliant on online servers. A good example of this is Google’s Tensor G3 chip. This is an AI-centric chip that can perform many on-device generative AI tasks.
Sam Altman to visit Samsung to talk about AI chips
Right now, we are still in the early stages of this venture, so there’s not much information that we know about it. A new report via Reuters states that Sam Altman is visiting South Korea where he will meet with Samsung Electronics and discuss making AI-focused chips. Right now, Samsung is one of the better options in the chip industry.
More details about this venture will pop up as time goes on, but it appears that Altman is looking to raise money to get things started. The report says that he’s looking to raise billions of dollars. Since AI is so popular now, and since Altman has proven himself to be a successful CEO, securing the money seems well within the realm of possibility. Also, this could also be a way to secure powerful partnerships between OpenAI and chipmakers.
Along with Samsung, Altman is also contacting SK Hynix. This is a company that designs and sells memory chips.
The details of what devices these chips will power remain a mystery. At this point, the companies could go either way. In any case, we’re sure that this partnership will take years to produce any fruit.
