Upstage Company is officially implementing its own language model (LLM) 'Solar' on the portal 'Daum.' The initiative is part of the 'Reader AI Foundation Model' project, which aims to combine Upstage's AI model with Daum's services, accessed by over 10 million users weekly, to make AI easily usable in everyday life.
On July 1, Upstage Company announced the launch of a beta service for 'AI Summary' on the Daum portal, which automatically summarizes search results.
The AI Summary feature allows the LLM to analyze web documents directly and provide comprehensive answers to search queries. When users enter keywords into the Daum search bar, the service offers key summaries along with supporting evidence. The AI automatically updates the information as it changes, ensuring users always have access to the latest data. It can interpret not only short phrases but also full-sentence questions. For searches that require step-by-step procedures, the results are displayed in a list format, while comparative searches are presented in tables, enhancing readability based on the nature of the query.
The underlying model for the AI Summary feature is Upstage's own LLM, Solar. This model is being refined through the government's 'Reader AI Foundation Model' project, in which Upstage is a lead participant. This marks the first application of an AI feature since Upstage acquired AXZ Company in May.
Daum's search capabilities will evolve into a hybrid model that combines traditional keyword searches with AI summaries. The AI Summary feature will initially be applied in six areas closely related to daily life: issues (real-time trends), finance, entertainment, health, dictionaries, and everyday topics. There are plans to expand the service and release a formal version by the end of the year.
Additionally, AXZ plans to launch an 'AI mode' that will completely replace Daum's integrated search with an interactive AI by the end of the year. This mode will allow users to explore various information through direct conversations with the AI, going beyond simple summaries.
Upstage has formed a partnership between the portal 'Daum' and the AI multi-platform company 'Timely.' This collaboration aims to expand the use of its AI model into more public services, fostering a 'public AI ecosystem' where everyone can benefit from AI in their daily lives.
Last month, Upstage entered the business-to-business (B2B) market by acquiring the AI agent platform Timely. Subsequently, on June 16, Upstage, along with Daum's operating company AXZ and the AI agent platform Timely, established 'Upstage Company.' The company plans to implement a two-track strategy where Timely provides a platform for using various AI models and agents in one environment, while Daum focuses on consumer services.
Kim Seong-hoon, CEO of Upstage, stated, "The Daum AI Summary is a starting point that demonstrates the changes that can occur when AI models interact with the daily lives of many people. We aim to integrate Upstage's AI into various aspects of Daum's services, ushering in an era of 'AI for everyone' where everyone can naturally benefit from AI in their daily lives."
