A recent internal data leak, Samsung Electronics has embarked on an extensive development of its own Large Language Model (LLM) designed for internal applications. The project is led by Samsung Research and has received substantial investments in terms of workforce and resources. Notably, all available GPU resources have been allocated to facilitate the training of this crucial LLM. Samsung’s goal is to finalize the initial version of the LLM within a period of two months.
Samsung is working on its own Large Language Model (LLM) solution, which aims to reduce the time required for software development. The focus of this AI solution will be on document summarization, software development, and language translation. While Samsung has not yet decided on making the solution available to the public, internal use is currently prioritized. Following a data leak involving third-party generative AI solutions, Samsung has prohibited their use and initiated the development of its own proprietary AI technology.
The deployment of LLM-based AI solutions is expected to significantly expedite software development and semiconductor design. Despite exploring partnerships with major companies like Google, Microsoft, Naver, and OpenAI, Samsung made the decision to develop an in-house AI solution during a top-level management meeting, which included the presence of Lee Jae-yong.
Other South Korean firms, including Kakao, LG, Naver, and SKT, are also developing their own LLM-based generative AI solutions with advanced capabilities in drawing and writing, such as KoGPT, ExaOne, HyperCloverX, and A-Dot. However, challenges related to data accuracy and information privacy still need to be addressed during the ongoing development process.
