  "account": "Nvidia, SK Telecom, and domestic AI chip startup Rebellions have joined forces to create a heterogeneous computing system for AI, according to Seoul's science ministry. The three companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Monday, outlining their joint efforts. The collaboration aims to develop a heterogeneous AI computing system that integrates Nvidia's graphic processing units (GPUs) with neural processing units (NPUs) created by Rebellions. This system will be utilized in building SK Telecom's AI data centers. The MOU is based on Nvidia's NVLink Fusion program, which enables hyperscalers and custom chip designers to integrate their AI processors directly into Nvidia's rack-scale infrastructure. By connecting locally produced NPUs to Nvidia's architecture, the agreement is expected to broaden the range of applications for domestic advanced semiconductors. Moreover, it offers local companies the chance to validate their technologies in the global market. The science ministry pledged its support for local NPU developers to ensure this partnership could expand beyond Rebellions to include other local NPU developers, ultimately contributing to the growth of South Korea's advanced-chip ecosystem.",
