Samsung Gives Employees Worldwide Free ChatGPT and Codex

Samsung Electronics has signed a major enterprise agreement with OpenAI to provide ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex to employees across key parts of its business.

The rollout will cover all Samsung Electronics employees in South Korea and all employees in the company’s Device eXperience division worldwide. OpenAI described it as one of its largest enterprise deployments so far.

Use Across Operations

Samsung plans to use ChatGPT and Codex for both technical and non-technical work.

Employees will use the tools across software development, marketing, product development, manufacturing, research, and other corporate functions.

ChatGPT will assist with tasks such as finding and analysing information, preparing documents, developing ideas, and interpreting data.

Codex will support developers with writing, reviewing, and debugging code. Non-technical teams will also be able to use it to create internal tools, websites, automated workflows, and other software.

Partnership Expands

Samsung and OpenAI already work together on AI infrastructure.

Samsung Electronics supplies advanced memory semiconductors for OpenAI’s next-generation AI infrastructure. The new agreement expands that relationship beyond hardware and into the company’s internal operations.

Samsung has also been increasing its use of AI in consumer products through Galaxy AI and its One UI software.

Codex Usage Grows

OpenAI said more than five million people now use Codex each week for technical and non-technical work.

Weekly Codex users in South Korea have increased by nearly 800% since February 1, 2026.

Adoption In South Korea

Other major South Korean organisations have also adopted OpenAI’s services.

LG Electronics is among the companies using OpenAI products, while Seoul National University recently made ChatGPT Edu available to around 47,000 students, faculty members, and employees.
