삼성전자는 Mistral AI와 전략적 파트너십을 체결하여 AI 워크로드를 위한 반도체 엔지니어링 및 제조 역량을 강화하기로 했다.
Samsung Electronics has entered into a strategic partnership with Mistral AI to enhance its semiconductor engineering and manufacturing capabilities, reinforcing its leadership in AI chip technologies. The announcement was made during a state summit in Paris between South Korea and France.
Under the agreement, Samsung will integrate Mistral’s AI services and solutions—including its flagship large language model, Mistral Large—across its semiconductor operations to develop customized on-premises AI models optimized for intelligence-driven infrastructure. Mistral’s AI platform will provide Samsung with a unique stack of tools designed to transform how semiconductors are designed and manufactured. These on-premises enterprise solutions will ensure the security and flexibility required to process highly sensitive technologies and operational data entirely within Samsung’s infrastructure, maintaining total control over mission-critical technologies.
As semiconductor processes grow increasingly advanced and complex, rapid data analysis within fabrication plants is essential. By deploying targeted AI models for defect detection and equipment optimization, Samsung aims to accelerate development cycles, improve manufacturing precision, and stabilize yields across its advanced memory and logic chips.
“Increasing complexities involved in AI chip design and manufacturing requires continuous innovation in semiconductor technologies,” said Young Hyun Jun, Vice Chairman & CEO of the Device Solutions (DS) Division at Samsung Electronics. “We look forward to working with Mistral and support the evolving needs of customers, while delivering new breakthroughs across the semiconductor ecosystem essential to the AI era.”
“AI is reshaping how we build complex technologies, from silicon to software,” said Arthur Mensch, co-founder and CEO of Mistral. “We are proud to support Samsung Electronics with our expertise in electronics and semiconductors, helping to improve how chips are designed and manufactured, and to accelerate technical progress across the global semiconductor and AI value chain.”
Samsung also led Mistral AI’s Series D funding round, securing a strategic equity stake to underpin long-term technology collaboration. This lead investment reflects expanding cross-industry cooperation across the advanced chip ecosystem. By combining its leading silicon technologies with AI innovators like Mistral, Samsung plans to advance a broader AI transformation across its semiconductor operations, addressing the diverse requirements of customers spanning advanced memory and logic to foundry services.
