South Korean telecom operator KT Corp has joined hands with KAIST, the country's top science university to develop a hyperscale artificial intelligence (AI) language model.
KT Corp plans to commercialize the model in the first half of next year, with hopes of powering its services, such as AI call centers and smart speakers.
The hyperscale AI model uses a massive computing infrastructure for natural language processing.
The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute and Hanyang University will also participate in the joint research project.
The collaboration aims to develop an AI model with over 200 billion parameters, surpassing US-based OpenAI's GPT-3 model, which can produce human-like text with 175 billion parameters.
Other South Korean companies are also into developing AI models.
LG Group will invest US$100 million in the next three years to develop a powered by large-scale computing infrastructure-powered "super-giant AI", while Naver Corp. unveiled its AI language model HyperCLOVA, which boasts 204 billion parameters.
