South Korea’s Naver plans to build large-scale “AI factories” in the country using Nvidia technology, according to reports citing Nvidia’s DSX platform. Separate coverage also says Nvidia and SK Telecom are working together on a gigawatt-scale AI cloud deployment in South Korea. The proposals are framed as efforts to expand local capacity for high-performance AI computing, leveraging Nvidia’s data center and AI infrastructure components and software offerings delivered through platforms such as DSX.
While the outlets differ in emphasis—some foreground Naver’s AI-factory buildout and others focus on the broader Nvidia–SK Telecom cloud initiative—the common thread is the goal of scaling AI training and inference at an industrial level. The gigawatt-scale language indicates plans for very large power and data center requirements, suggesting a long-term expansion of compute infrastructure. Specific details such as project timelines, number of data centers, and total capacity figures beyond the “gigawatt-scale” description are not provided in the supplied excerpts. The reports nonetheless align that the partnerships involve Nvidia technology and aim to accelerate availability of advanced AI computing resources in South Korea.
