LG AI Research and Nvidia are strengthening a technology alliance to expand the “K-EXAONE” ecosystem.
LG AI Research said executives including Woo-hyung Lim, co-head of LG AI Research, and Jin-sik Lee, head of the EXAONE Lab, met Monday afternoon at the institute’s headquarters in Seoul’s Magok district with Bryan Catanzaro, Nvidia vice president of applied deep learning research, and So-young Jung, head of Nvidia Korea, to discuss cooperation on developing next-generation AI models.
The two companies said they will broaden collaboration by combining LG’s AI model, EXAONE, with Nvidia’s Nemotron open ecosystem to jointly develop specialized models for professional fields.
LG AI Research said it used Nemotron open datasets during EXAONE’s development to help ensure training data quality. Nvidia supported optimization of model training and improvements in inference performance and efficiency by providing its latest Blackwell graphics processing units, the NeMo Framework AI development platform and TensorRT-LLM software designed to boost inference performance.
“As a key partner of LG AI Research, Nvidia has worked together to make EXAONE Korea’s top AI model,” Catanzaro said. “By combining LG’s EXAONE and Nvidia’s Nemotron, we will lead sovereign AI and contribute to expanding the ecosystem,” he said.
Lim said Nvidia has been a core technology partner in developing EXAONE. “We will take LG and Nvidia’s cooperation a step further by expanding the research-and-development ecosystem and deliver sovereign AI results that can be felt in industrial settings,” he said.
