Naver Corp. will unveil an upgraded version of the HyperCLOVA X in July in a bid to keep up with the ChatGPT-fueled global competition.
Launched in 2021, HyperCLOVA X is a hyperscale artificial intelligence platform tailored for the Korean language. It can combine users’ data with its AI predecessor and provide more suitable responses to users.
HyperCLOVA X is more Korean user-oriented than other AI models like the chatbot ChatGPT. It has learned from 6,500 times more Korean data than the US model developed by Open AI.
Naver, South Korea’s top portal operator, said the new AI model will help individuals, companies, and countries use their customized AI systems, and create new services and business opportunities.
Kim Yu-won, CEO of Naver Cloud, vowed that they would create a globally competitive AI ecosystem in South Korea.
