Nvidia, SK Telecom and South Korean chipmaker Rebellions will jointly develop sovereign AI infrastructure using NVLink Fusion, which integrates third-party accelerators into Nvidia’s ecosystem. SK Telecom plans to launch a gigawatt-scale AI factory in South Korea with an operational target of 2027, starting on the Blackwell platform before moving to the upcoming Vera Rubin platforms. Rebellions’ ATOM-Max neural processing units already handle approximately 14 million requests and more than 4 billion tokens per day across several SK Telecom services. The project leverages South Korea’s semiconductor and telecommunications industries to reduce the country’s reliance on external technology. Nvidia and SK Group’s expanded relationship could lead to a potential commitment of more than $500 billion, but no signed financial agreement has been confirmed.
