SEOUL, July 16 (UPI) — LG Group, one of South Korea’s major conglomerates, has unveiled a next-generation hybrid artificial intelligence model, EXAONE 4.0, in aiming to join the global AI race along with powerhouses in the United States and China.<\/p>\n
The Seoul-based group’s unit, LG AI Research, said Tuesday that the new model integrates natural language processing capabilities with advanced reasoning skills, built on its large language model EXAONE Deep.\n<\/p>\n
“It inherits the step-by-step, thought-based problem-solving approach that EXAONE Deep implemented, and advances its reasoning capabilities to excel even in challenging fields such as math, science and coding,” the firm said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“Starting with EXAONE 4.0, the free licensing previously granted for research and academic purposes has been extended to educational institutions,” it added.\n<\/p>\n
As a result, primary and secondary schools, as well as universities, will be allowed to use EXAONE 4.0 for educational purposes without prior approval. The model is available through Hugging Face, a global AI open-source platform, according to LG.<\/p>\n
EXAONE 4.0 comes in two versions: one for experts and the other for the public.<\/p>\n
LG said that the expert model has passed national qualification exams in six areas, such as qualifying for physician and dentist licenses. The lighter on-device version is designed to run independently without having to connect to external servers.\n<\/p>\n
With the launch of EXAONE 4.0, LG could be poised to take on global AI leaders.<\/p>\n
“Only a few corporations have come up with competitive hybrid AI models, including Anthropic of the U.S. and Alibaba of China,” Sogang University Professor Yoon Seok-bin told UPI in a phone interview.<\/p>\n
“LG was somewhat late in debuting its own hybrid AI model compared to its offshore rivals. But there is a long way to go in developing and refining AI technology. LG may yet be able to compete on the global stage,” he saidOh, what is .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LG Group has unveiled its own hybrid artificial intelligence model.
