NAVER, NVIDIA, and Brookfield have announced a significant expansion of Korea's AI factory infrastructure, aiming to increase the NVIDIA DSX AI factory deployment to 200 megawatts, more than tripling the previously announced 55 megawatts. This expansion, revealed during President Jae Myung Lee's AI Summit visit to San Francisco, underscores Korea's commitment to enhancing its national AI capabilities.
The collaboration will see NAVER expand its NVIDIA AI infrastructure deployment to 1 gigawatt, with NVIDIA investing $1 billion and Brookfield potentially funding up to $9 billion. This initiative aims to provide AI innovators in Korea and the U.S. with access to advanced production-scale AI compute resources, fostering a robust AI ecosystem and enhancing South Korea's competitiveness in the global AI landscape.
Looking ahead, the 200-megawatt AI factory will utilize advanced NVIDIA platforms, including Vera Rubin and Blackwell, to support the development of competitive AI models. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
