Nvidia Partners with Rebellions and SK Telecom for Korean AI
Nvidia, Rebellions, and SK Telecom are developing South Korea's sovereign AI infrastructure using NVLink Fusion technology to integrate domestic semiconductors with global systems.
Nvidia Corporation, Rebellions, and SK Telecom have partnered to build a sovereign AI infrastructure in South Korea. The collaboration integrates Nvidia's open infrastructure platform and MGX rack architecture with Rebellions' Korean-designed R200 neural processing units (NPUs) and SK Telecom's AI data centers and proprietary models.
The initiative utilizes NVLink Fusion technology to implement a disaggregated inference approach. This system combines NVIDIA GPUs for prefill and Rebellions NPUs for decode to increase throughput and power efficiency. The partnership aims to deliver AI services specifically tailored to South Korean language and industrial priorities, with Rebellions' R200 systems expected to be ready for deployment in 2028.
Supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT, the project seeks to connect domestic semiconductor innovation with global systems technology. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, described the partnership as the computing foundation for the next industrial revolution in Korea, while Rebellions and SK Telecom noted the collaboration validates the potential of next-generation sovereign AI infrastructure.
