  "account": "SEOUL, September 3 (Yonhap) - A consortium led by Naver Cloud Corp. has been chosen for a government-backed initiative to create an AI foundation model focused on cybersecurity, announced the Ministry of Science and ICT on Thursday. The cloud and AI division of portal operator Naver Corp. outshined a rival group led by SK Telecom Co. in assessments of their extensive industry-academia-research collaborations, technical prowess, and development strategy. The Naver Cloud consortium consists of 32 entities, including LG CNS Co., LG Uplus Corp., as well as prominent domestic universities and research institutions. The government intends to supply the consortium with up to 256 Nvidia B200 graphics processing units (GPUs) across the next ten months to aid in the model's development. The ministry anticipates signing a contract with the consortium later this month, setting the stage for full-scale implementation. The project aims to develop a domestically tailored cybersecurity AI model to address South Korea's security challenges in the face of rapidly advancing AI technologies and increasing cyber threats.",
