SK Telecom, South Korea's largest wireless carrier by membership, said that it will open an artificial intelligence data center in Seoul in December by joining hands with US-based graphics processing units-as-a-service provider Lambda.
The decision comes as the two sides signed a partnership deal for a joint AI cloud business as they agreed to establish a large-scale Nvidia GPU cluster to support AI cloud business opportunities here, according to SK Telecom.
Lambda is a company that offers AI cloud services using the latest GPUs from Nvidia. Top big tech firms like Intel and Microsoft are among Lambda's customers.
“Given the rapid pace of innovation in AI happening in South Korea, we’re excited to partner with SK Telecom and support their effort to grow and develop their AI cloud expertise in the region,” said Lambda CEO and co-founder Stephen Balaban.
