NVIDIA, Rebellions and SK Telecom today announced a collaboration to advance Korea’s sovereign AI infrastructure — using NVIDIA NVLink Fusion™ to bring together NVIDIA’s open infrastructure platform, Rebellions’ Korean-designed AI processors and SK Telecom’s AI data center, model and service capabilities.
As part of the agreement, Rebellions will use NVLink Fusion to connect its Rebel R200 neural processing units (NPUs) to the NVIDIA platform, and harness the NVIDIA MGX™ rack architecture for rack-scale system development. SK Telecom plans to deploy these systems, drawing on its AI data center operations expertise, proprietary models and services.
Supported by Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), the collaboration aims to support AI services tailored to Korea’s language, industries and priorities, connecting Korean semiconductor development with the systems and operational capabilities needed to deliver AI at scale.
“Korea has the talent, technology and industrial ambition to become a world leader in AI,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Sovereign AI gives nations the power to turn their language, culture and expertise into intelligence. With NVLink Fusion, Korea’s chipmakers can connect their custom ASICs to NVIDIA’s AI factory platform, tightly coupling their processors with NVIDIA compute to run AI workloads. Together with MSIT, Rebellions and SK Telecom, we’re building the computing foundation for Korea to produce its own intelligence and power its next industrial revolution.”
“Today’s announcement marks a turning point, opening a new chapter for sovereign AI by connecting Korea’s AI silicon and models with global systems technology,” said Sunghyun Park, cofounder and CEO of Rebellions.
