It is reported that the South Korean government has launched a working group with Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor Group and other companies to advance a nationwide effort to establish an AI infrastructure utilising 260,000 GPUs to be supplied by U.S. chip behemoth Nvidia. The inaugural meeting of the group, chaired by Second Vice Science Minister Ryu Je-myung, comes about a month after Nvidia announced a plan to supply up to 260,000 Blackwell GPUs to the South Korean government and leading conglomerates. At the meeting, senior executives from Samsung, Hyundai, as well as SK Telecom and Naver Cloud, discussed implementation strategies for the GPU plan and ways to expand cooperation to strengthen the country’s AI ecosystem. Participants agreed to maintain a standing coordination system through the new working group, which will be convened regularly.
