Amid fierce competition in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), the South Korean government recently announced a strategic plan. Acting President Cui Xiangmu said that the government will quickly purchase 10,000 high-performance GPUs through public-private cooperation to accelerate the launch of the National AI Computing Center. This move not only demonstrates South Korea's ambitions in the field of AI, but also lays a solid foundation for its leading position in global competition.
According to Reuters, the South Korean government has not yet determined which brands or models of GPUs will be purchased. However, officials from the South Korean Ministry of Science and Technology Information and Communications revealed that details about the budget, GPU models and participating private enterprises are expected to be finalized by September this year. This large-scale procurement plan will provide strong computing power support for South Korea's future AI development, helping it make breakthroughs in technological innovation and applications.
Currently, the global GPU market is extremely fierce, especially in the fields of generative AI and accelerated computing. Nvidia accounts for almost 80% of the market share, far ahead of competitors such as Intel and AMD. As the demand for AI continues to grow, many countries and enterprises are seeking to build or upgrade their AI computing capabilities. This procurement plan in South Korea will undoubtedly make it more competitive in the research and development and application of AI technology, and may promote further changes in the global AI market.
In addition, OpenAI is also actively promoting its plan to reduce its dependence on Nvidia chips, and is accelerating the development of its own AI processing chips, which are expected to be completed and handed over to TSMC for production in the next few months. This trend shows that the global AI technology field is undergoing a profound change, with countries and enterprises working hard to master core technologies to meet future challenges.
