SEOUL, April 5 (Yonhap) -- Executives from Samsung Electronics Co. and French artificial intelligence (AI) startup Mistral AI discussed potential cooperation in the AI memory sector, industry sources said Sunday.
Arthur Mensch, co-founder and chief executive officer of Mistral AI, met Jeon Young-hyun, head of Samsung Electronics' device solutions division, on Thursday at the company's Hwaseong campus to explore collaboration on AI chip supply chains and related technologies, the sources said. Mensch was in South Korea last week on the occasion of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Seoul for talks with President Lee Jae Myung.
Mistral AI, often described as Europe's counterpart to OpenAI, is seeking to secure a stable supply of semiconductors to support its large language model, Mistral Large, and to expand its AI infrastructure. The visit to Samsung's semiconductor facility is viewed as part of that effort.
"Following recent discussions between Samsung executives and Lisa Su, CEO of Advanced Micro Devices, Mistral AI also appears to be pursuing talks with Samsung to ensure a reliable chip supply amid tight memory market conditions," an industry official said.
