This possible deal with xAI shows the growing relationship between Samsung and Elon Musk. A few months back, Samsung signed an agreement to manufacture the AI6 chip for Tesla, another Musk-led company. Not long after that, the two companies also agreed that Samsung would produce Tesla’s AI5 chip. With xAI potentially becoming a new customer, Samsung Foundry seems to be getting a better chance to compete with its biggest rival, TSMC.
