IT Home November 9 news, NVIDIA held the NVIDIA AI Day event in Seoul, South Korea today (November 9), and announced several collaborations with the South Korean government and enterprises, which IT Home summarized as follows:

NVIDIA and the South Korean Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) are expanding cooperation in the South Korean sovereign AI ecosystem, covering areas from AI semiconductors and data center infrastructure to talent, startups, models, agents, and security.

This cooperation lays the foundation for South Korean NPU and XPU companies to explore participation in the NVIDIA NVLink Fusion ecosystem, including NVIDIA's training and certification programs, hackathons, and technical seminars to enhance GPU utilization.

Through South Korea's “AI for All” initiative, NVIDIA will collaborate with four South Korean foundation model builders to optimize and scale AI inference using NVIDIA Dynamo software, including SK Telecom's A.X K2, LG AI Research's K-EXAONE 2.0, Upstage's Solar Open 2, and Motif Technologies' Motif-3.

Additionally, NVIDIA announced today a partnership with SK Telecom and Rebellions, supported by MSIT, to drive sovereign AI infrastructure for Korean models and workloads based on NVIDIA NVLink Fusion.

Samsung Electronics is expanding its cooperation with NVIDIA, driving semiconductor innovation through accelerated computing and artificial intelligence physical technologies. This work covers materials research, process development, and device engineering.

Kakao Mobility Plan to advance the development of L4 autonomous driving systems based on NVIDIA's autonomous driving computing and safety technologies. This project combines Kakao Mobility's proprietary driving software and experience operating in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, with NVIDIA's vehicle computing platform.

NVIDIA and LG Electronics successfully demonstrated the use of LG's CLOiD robots to achieve NVIDIA Isaac GR00T-driven robot operations and manufacturing tasks in a real manufacturing environment.

Hyundai Motor Group is exploring the NVIDIA NemoClaw blueprint and NVIDIA OpenShell runtime, while AIM Intelligence is integrating its Starfort platform with NVIDIA OpenShell to support secure AI agents, enhancing employee productivity and enterprise workflows.

South Korean AI security company AIM Intelligence is integrating its Starfort agent control platform with NVIDIA OpenShell. The goal is to combine OpenShell's runtime access control with Starfort's detection capabilities for malicious instructions and data leaks. The company is also considering preliminary proof of concepts in the public energy sector, with potential applications spanning enterprise, industrial, and robotics fields.

In terms of models, LG AI Research API access for K-EXAONE-2.5 is being opened, which version was developed using the NVIDIA Nemotron dataset, including Nemotron-Personas-Korea.
