South Korean technology giant Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) is reportedly working on memory chips for large artificial intelligence applications, similar to ChatGPT.
The tech company is working on customized memory chips for the apps, Digitimes reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The report comes several days after Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) said it would not drastically cut capital spending on semiconductors this year, a stark difference to its competitors, despite the continued uncertainty in the global economy.
Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) added that it would lower short-term production via line maintenance, equipment adjustment and continuing to produce more advanced chips.
In contrast, Micron (MU) and SK Hynix, both of which compete with Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) in the memory chip market, said they would lower spending plans for 2023. In November, Micron (MU) said it would reduce wafer starts for both NAND and dynamics random access memory, or DRAM, by roughly 20%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
Last month, research firm Gartner said semiconductor revenue grew just 1.1% year-over-year, with Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF) accounting for 10.9% of the market.
