Nvidia, Rebellions and SK Telecom announced a memorandum of understanding at NVIDIA AI Day Seoul on 9 November local time. The companies plan to develop a system that links Nvidia graphics processors with Korean-designed AI accelerators from Rebellions.

What each partner brings

Nvidia’s NVLink Fusion technology is designed to connect third-party chips to its infrastructure. Rebellions contributes its processor design, while SK Telecom brings data centre, model and service capabilities. The aim is to support AI workloads in South Korea.

The agreement establishes a development partnership. The practical tests will be how well the processors work together, which workloads the system can handle and when it can be deployed.
