Seoul: LG Group announced on Wednesday its partnership with U.S. chip giant Nvidia Corp. to jointly develop new artificial intelligence (AI) models and enhance their ecosystems. The collaboration marks a significant step in expanding the capabilities and applications of AI technologies.
According to Yonhap News Agency, during a meeting held in Seoul on Tuesday, Lim Woo-hyung, co-chief of LG AI Research, and Bryan Catanzaro, vice president of applied deep learning research at Nvidia, committed to strengthening technological cooperation to expand the EXAONE AI ecosystem. EXAONE is LG AI Research's multimodal AI model, initially introduced in 2021, and is based on a large language model (LLM).
The two companies aim to broaden their cooperation by jointly developing domain-specific models that integrate EXAONE with Nvidia's Nemotron open ecosystem. This collaboration is set to leverage the strengths of both organizations to create advanced AI solutions tailored to specific industry needs.
LG AI Research and Nvidia have been working closely on technical collaborations, advancing from EXAONE 3.0 to the recently unveiled multimodal AI EXAONE 4.5. This partnership highlights the continuous innovation and shared goals of both companies in pushing the boundaries of AI technologies.
"Nvidia is a key technology partner that has been with us throughout the development of EXAONE," Lim remarked. "We will take the collaboration to the next level by expanding the research and development ecosystem to deliver tangible sovereign AI outcomes in industrial settings."
