[Photo: Nvidia]<\/p>\n<p>Naver is joining hands with Nvidia to secure leadership in the global artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure market.<\/p>\n<p>Naver said on 8 it has agreed with Nvidia on a joint project to build a gigawatt (GW)-scale ultra-large global AI factory. The alliance is an integrated partnership spanning all stages of the value chain, including identifying global demand and capital cooperation. Naver will participate as a core partner, jointly responsible for business results and risks.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Hae-jin (\uc774\ud574\uc9c4), chairman of Naver&#8217;s board, and Jensen Huang (\uc820\uc2a8 \ud669), Nvidia&#8217;s chief executive officer, meet on the day at Naver&#8217;s 1784 headquarters to discuss a detailed roadmap for the joint project and specific cooperation measures for entering global markets. The two companies plan to secure leadership in the AI infrastructure ecosystem across markets including Asia-Pacific as well as Europe and the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Naver will use its hyperscale data center, Gak Sejong, as an outpost to absorb global demand. It plans to build GW-scale infrastructure by starting 55MW operations in the first half of 2027, expanding overseas infrastructure to 100MW in the same year and to 200MW in 2028. One GW is about 4 times the maximum capacity of Gak Sejong, enough to accommodate several hundred thousand of the latest graphics processing units (GPUs) simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>Technical cooperation will also be advanced. Naver will combine its capabilities in building and operating its own GPU clusters and its hyperscale data center know-how with Nvidia&#8217;s next-generation high-performance infrastructure platform DSX to maximize data center operating efficiency. The companies will also pursue cooperation in spatial intelligence, including building a &#8220;Seoul World Model&#8221; using Naver&#8217;s own spatial modeling and Street View data on Nvidia&#8217;s world foundation model, Cosmos.<\/p>\n<p>Naver has also recently joined the &#8220;Nvidia Nemotron Alliance,&#8221; which includes 12 global AI companies such as Cursor, Mistral AI and Perplexity. Based on this, Naver plans to combine its own data and training know-how to enhance the performance of HyperCLOVA X and accelerate efforts to secure global general-purpose applicability.<\/p>\n<p>Lee said, &#8220;Through this alliance, it is encouraging that we can present concrete alternatives so that each region and country around the world can build its own sovereign AI capabilities,&#8221; adding, &#8220;This cooperation is meaningful in that it has created an opportunity for Naver&#8217;s technological infrastructure competitiveness to take a step forward into the global market.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Naver-Nvidia logos.
