SK Telecom has announced that it will unveil a hyperscale artificial intelligence model at a presentation for the government-led national AI foundation model project on Tuesday. According to its statement, the AI model boasts more than 500 billion parameters that it can use to learn data. In the statement released on Sunday, the SK Telecom consortium, which consists of eight organizations including Krafton, Rebellions, Seoul National University, and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, jointly developed A.X K1. The statement highlighted that the model seeks to become Korea‘s first AI language model and boasts a total of 519 billion parameters. Parameters are learned values that models use to analyze data, which are widely regarded as an indicator of their size or scale.

This design provides the model with an environment to operate flexibly while carrying out different varieties of task execution, including heavy-duty training and lightweight task execution. “Developing Korea’s first 500-billion-parameter scale model marks a new turning point for the country’s ambition to join the global top tier of AI leaders amid fierce international competition,” said Kim Tae-yoon, SK Telecom’s head of foundation model division. “As Korea’s national AI champion, we’ll continue working to realize our vision of AI for everyone.” Given the benchmarks for global models with over 500 billion parameters, SK Telecom noted A.X K1 will be able to offer more stable performance in complex reasoning, math, and multilingual understanding than smaller-scale models. It also added that the model would be able to enhance use cases such as code generation and autonomous agent-based workflows. At that scale, the model can also…
