South Korea says Nvidia will keep GPU pledges after Huang's resignation
SEOUL, November 13 - South Korea's Science and ICT Minister Bae Kyung-hoon announced on Friday that Nvidia has confirmed its commitment to supply 260,000 advanced graphics processing units (GPUs) to the country. This pledge remains in place despite Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang's resignation, as confirmed by Bae on X. The GPU agreement was initially struck during Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings last year when Huang visited South Korea.
According to Bae, Nvidia and South Korea will continue collaborating on various projects, such as merging Korean-developed AI chips with Nvidia's platform, constructing AI computing infrastructure, and engaging in joint research and talent development in physical AI.
