South Korea is teaming up its tech giants and startups to create a national AI model built mostly with domestic technology.
🚨 Breaking News: SK Telecom, LG, Naver, and others will develop open-source AI models to reduce reliance on US and Chinese tech.
⚡ Wire Simplified –
Five consortia, including SK Telecom’s Titan-powered project, will lead the effort.
South Korea already makes key AI parts like high-bandwidth memory chips (Samsung, SK Hynix).
Models will be open-source, free for developers (with possible licenses).
First model launches by year-end, aiming for global use.
Goal: become an alternative AI supplier for nations seeking “AI sovereignty.”
✔️ Straight to the Point –
Korea’s betting on its full tech stack—from chips to cloud—to create AI independence and maybe spark the next global tech export boom.
