OpenAI has added Samsung Foundry as a production partner for its next-generation AI chips, diversifying beyond its previous exclusive reliance on TSMC. This move leverages Broadcom's existing $200 billion contract with Samsung for 2nm chip manufacturing, marking a strategic supply chain expansion for OpenAI's custom silicon.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Exclusive dependency on TSMC for AI chipmaking just ended, opening a route through Broadcom and Samsung. If you make logic chips or AI accelerator memory, new supply chain partnerships are now actionable for you.
