Details

Upstage and LG Electronics have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to embed an LLM in LG gram laptops. This collaboration aims to realize on-device AI that runs generative AI directly on end devices such as PCs and smartphones.

By leveraging a small language model (SLM) embedded directly in the device itself, the following advantages are offered compared to existing cloud-based AI:

  • Fast responsiveness and precise personalization
  • High reliability and enhanced privacy protection

Upstage's core technology, Solar, boasts small yet powerful performance. In particular, the 10.7B model ranked first on the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard last December, proving performance that surpasses larger models such as Mixtral 8x7B.

The two companies plan to expand AI features beyond laptops to home appliances. Personal AI assistant features such as voice command recognition, searching stored documents, and summarizing video conference content are set to be applied across a variety of product lines.
