On the 8th (local time), Samsung Electronics signed a strategic partnership with French artificial intelligence company 'Mistral AI' to jointly develop its own AI models specialized for semiconductor design and manufacturing.
Mistral AI is an AI company established in France in 2023. It possesses technological competitiveness that ensures both data security and flexibility by applying its own on-premise solutions tailored to industries requiring sensitive data processing, such as semiconductor processes and the financial sector. Through this, it is leading the establishment of a distinct AI ecosystem centered on Europe, responding to the existing AI market dominated by American big tech companies.
Samsung Electronics plans to develop its own AI models optimized for DS division-specific data by utilizing Mistral AI's AI solutions, including its high-efficiency large language model (LLM) 'Mistral Large'.
Samsung Electronics intends to gradually apply these models to data analysis, defect prediction, and process optimization at semiconductor design and manufacturing sites to shorten development periods and improve manufacturing efficiency and quality.
Both companies also agreed to jointly build an AI platform and operational system optimized for semiconductor operations in addition to the AI model.
In particular, this AI model will be implemented in an on-premise manner that can operate within Samsung Electronics' internal infrastructure, ensuring that semiconductor-related data, a national core technology, is utilized safely without being transferred externally.
Samsung Electronics plans to expand this collaboration across all DS divisions, including memory, foundry, and logic, and build an AI-based semiconductor ecosystem that can eventually connect with customers and partner companies.
Both companies agreed to continuously discover AI use cases optimized for the semiconductor industry by combining Samsung Electronics' semiconductor technology with Mistral AI's model competitiveness, and to expand their cooperation scope into the global market.
Jeon Young-hyun, head of Samsung Electronics' DS division, stated, "As the complexity of semiconductor design and manufacturing rapidly increases, the ability to utilize vast amounts of data safely and precisely through AI is emerging as a core competitive advantage. Together with Mistral AI, we will build AI models and platforms specialized for the semiconductor industry to set new standards for AI-driven semiconductor innovation."
Arthur Mensch, founder and CEO of Mistral AI, said, "AI is redefining the creation of advanced technologies, from semiconductors to software. I am pleased to be able to cooperate with Samsung Electronics based on Mistral AI's semiconductor capabilities, and through this cooperation, we aim to contribute to progress in semiconductor design, manufacturing, and the entire global AI value system."
Samsung Electronics plans to accelerate AI transformation across all business divisions, including semiconductors, through this partnership, and strengthen its competitiveness in the global AI semiconductor market.
