AI BriefingUpstage Optimizes Solar LLM with FuriosaAI
Key point
Upstage will optimize its Solar LLM for RNGD in partnership with FuriosaAI.
Details
Upstage has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with AI chip startup FuriosaAI to optimize its own LLM, Solar, for the next-generation AI inference chip RNGD ('Renegade').
The two companies also plan to jointly develop on-premise generative AI infrastructure based on RNGD, targeting not only the Korean market but overseas markets as well. Upstage stated that this collaboration will serve as an opportunity to strengthen technological self-sufficiency across Korea's AI ecosystem, spanning both software and hardware.
As the global AI chip market becomes increasingly concentrated around a small number of companies, raising concerns over supply stability and cost burdens, demand for LLMs in Korea continues to grow. Upstage and FuriosaAI plan to focus on enhancing the competitiveness of domestic AI technology and building more robust infrastructure.
This is not the first collaboration between the two companies. In 2022, they integrated Upstage's OCR solution into FuriosaAI's first-generation NPU, Warboy, and plan to further expand the scope of application through this latest partnership.
