LG AI Research seeks to address industrial challenges with 'expert' AI models

LG AI Research, a division of LG Group, has introduced "expert" AI models powered by its EXAONE large language model. These models have already demonstrated their value in tackling real-world industrial issues. The announcement was made at the LG AI Talk Concert 2026, where LG AI Research showcased various use cases of their specialized AI models in manufacturing, science, and finance.

According to LG AI Research co-Head Lim Woo-hyung, while creating a good AI model is important, the company's primary goal is to tackle the complex problems that industries have been grappling with for years. Lim emphasized that while many general-purpose AI models exist, they often struggle to understand the nuances required to address industrial challenges. He stressed that AI can only prove its worth in industry when it can deliver tangible results.

In pursuit of this goal, LG AI Research unveiled two new models: EXAONE Tabular and EXAONE Omni-Inspect. The former is designed to handle structured data in manufacturing settings, while the latter focuses on inspecting and diagnosing complex systems. By creating models that can understand numerous variables and even rare exceptions, LG AI Research aims to prove the practical value of AI in industry.
