Upstage is expanding artificial intelligence (AI) services in the public sector with its self-developed large language model (LLM) 'Solar Pro 4.' Central government agencies and local governments can now utilize domestic AI models for administrative tasks such as legal reviews, responding to public inquiries, and drafting reports without needing separate graphics processing unit (GPU) infrastructure.
On November 3, Upstage announced the official launch of its LLM 'Solar Pro 4' integrated into the government-wide AI infrastructure.
The government-wide AI infrastructure is a dedicated AI framework for administrative networks. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Science and ICT provide AI models, data, and development environments to central and local government agencies. Solar Pro 4 is offered through Samsung SDS's Fabrics, which is registered as the AI platform within this infrastructure.
The government established this infrastructure to support the adoption of AI in public institutions and published a guide in May outlining the procedures for implementing these services.
Typically, public sector entities cannot send internal data to external AI services and face challenges in establishing GPU infrastructure, making it difficult to utilize high-performance models. Upstage explained that with the integration of Solar Pro 4, agencies can immediately connect domestic AI models to their administrative networks, which meet security and infrastructure requirements.
Solar Pro 4 operates within an administrative network infrastructure that has passed security assessments by the National Intelligence Service, ensuring that internal administrative data does not leave the network. The GPUs necessary for model operation are managed collectively by the government-wide infrastructure, allowing agencies to use the service via chat interfaces or application programming interfaces (APIs) without needing to purchase or lease separate GPU servers.
Additionally, the model can provide responses backed by various data sources, including laws, press releases, and administrative documents, thereby enhancing the reliability of public services.
Public officials can use Solar Pro 4 for tasks such as reviewing legal compliance of proposed amendments to ordinances and regulations, drafting responses to public inquiries based on relevant laws and procedures, creating report drafts from meeting notes and reference materials, and summarizing key points and issues in policy documents.
Kim Sung-hoon, CEO of Upstage, stated, “AI necessary for public work must ensure security and provide reliable answers based on evidence. We will demonstrate that trustworthy domestic AI can lead to innovation in public services.”
