Nvidia Corp., SK Telecom Co., and AI chip startup Rebellions have agreed to collaborate on creating a heterogeneous computing system for artificial intelligence applications. This agreement was reached on Monday through a trilateral memorandum of understanding (MOU), which leverages the strengths of each company. According to Yonhap News Agency, the partnership aims to connect Nvidia's graphic processing units (GPUs) with Rebellions' neural processing units (NPUs) to construct AI data centers for SK Telecom. This collaboration will utilize Nvidia's NVLink Fusion program, which allows for the integration of custom AI processors into Nvidia's infrastructure. The MOU was signed during AI Day Seoul, an event hosted by Nvidia. Jesse Clayton, Nvidia's principal manager for AI infrastructure, highlighted Korea's leadership in technology and expressed optimism that the collaboration would accelerate innovation in the country. Nvidia declined to comment on the sudden cancellation of a visit by Madison Huang, a senior director at Nvidia, amid allegations regarding her father's, CEO Jensen Huang, relationship with a suspected Chinese spy. An internal probe was initiated by Nvidia following Huang's admission of personal indiscretions. The South Korean ministry of science and ICT supports the partnership, anticipating it will broaden the application of domestic semiconductors and enhance opportunities for local companies globally.
