Telecom joins hands with NVIDIA to build gigawatt-level AI cloud in South Korea: Asia-Pacific computing power competition is fully underway"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">June 8,<strong>SK Telecom and NVIDIA announce major collaboration<\/strong>, will build Gigawatt-scale AI cloud infrastructure in South Korea.<strong>Launched in 2027<\/strong>, will serve AI training, inference and agent workloads throughout South Korea and even the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooperation details: DSX full-stack architecture + gigawatt computing power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of this collaboration is NVIDIA\u2019s<strong>DSX (full-stack AI factory reference architecture)<\/strong>.<strong>Lowest single token cost, highest energy efficiency<\/strong>To support large-scale AI computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>scale<\/strong>: Gigawatt level (1 GW = electricity consumption of approximately 900,000 households)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Architecture<\/strong>: NVIDIA DSX full-stack reference architecture<\/li>\n<li><strong>First phase put into production<\/strong>: 2027<\/li>\n<li><strong>Service scope<\/strong>: Training, inference, sovereign AI, physical AI, enterprise AI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is this important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For readers who follow the AI \u200b\u200bindustry, this cooperation has released several key signals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>First, the AI \u200b\u200binfrastructure race is expanding from the United States to Asia-Pacific.<\/strong>Previously, OpenAI\u2019s Stargate project (450,000+ GB200 GPU) and Microsoft\u2019s global data center plan were mainly concentrated in North America and the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Second, the concept of \u201csovereign AI\u201d has been officially implemented.<\/strong>NVIDIA and SK Telecom clearly mentioned that they will build \"sovereign AI\"-that is, autonomous AI infrastructure controlled by the government\/domestic enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Third, the DSX architecture lowers the replication threshold for AI factories.<\/strong>NVIDIA packages hardware + software + operations into a standardized architecture, which means that any telecom operator with funds and power resources can quickly copy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does it mean for the average user?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although a gigawatt AI cloud sounds far away, its impact is real: more AI computing power means<strong>Faster model response speed, cheaper API call costs, and more localized AI services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summarize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SK Telecom\u2019s gigawatt-level cooperation with NVIDIA marks a new stage in the AI \u200b\u200binfrastructure race.<a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/\">AI Dash<\/a>We will continue to track these changes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6\u67088\u65e5\uff0cSK Telecom\u4e0eNVID
