SK Hynix set to supply chips to OpenAI’s Stargate project

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have signed letters of intent to supply memory chips for OpenAI’s data centers, as South Korean chipmakers join forces with the ChatGPT maker to meet rising demand from its Stargate project. OpenAI will also work with the two South Korean firms on building two data centers, a Korean-style Stargate, leveraging Seoul’s ambition to become an AI hub in Asia and the country’s large number of paying ChatGPT subscribers – second only to that of the United States.Expanding chip availability was one of the key ideas of the project, and Nvidia said last week it would invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI and supply it with data center chips. Is OpenAi trying to outsource its chips from different companies for variance ?
