Samsung Electronics is reportedly in negotiations to produce advanced artificial intelligence chips for Anthropic, the San Francisco-based AI safety startup.
The discussions, first reported by The Korea Herald, suggest a deepening strategic alliance between the South Korean tech giant and one of the leading developers of large language models.
This development carries substantial implications for the global semiconductor foundry landscape.
If finalized, the deal would represent a major breakthrough for Samsung Foundry, which has long trailed Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in securing contracts for the most advanced AI accelerators.
It signals that hyperscalers and AI-native firms are increasingly diversifying their supply chains beyond TSMC to mitigate risk and secure capacity.
The move aligns with Samsung Group's broader strategic pivot toward high-value semiconductor manufacturing.
