NVIDIA and SK Telecom announced that SK Telecom plans to use the NVIDIA DSX™ platform to build a gigawatt-scale AI cloud in South Korea and begin operations at its first AI factory in 2027.
AI Cloud is a large-scale AI infrastructure comprised of AI factories that generate tokens-the building blocks of intelligence—from data. Unlike traditional large-scale providers offering general-purpose cloud services, AI Cloud specializes in GPU-based cloud computing specifically customized for AI workloads across training, inference, and agent-based AI.
SK Telecom’s AI Cloud is built on an NVIDIA DSX full-stack reference architecture, encompassing software, hardware, and operations, generating the lowest cost tokens while maximizing energy efficiency.
SK Telecom‘s AI Cloud enhances training, inference, and agent-based workloads, including sovereign AI, physical AI, and enterprise AI services, for businesses and industries across South Korea, with plans to expand to a wider area of Asia in the future.

This initiative reflects South Korea’s role as one of the world’s most advanced AI-driven industrial economies. Korean companies lead the communications, memory, semiconductor, manufacturing, robotics, mobility, and consumer technology industries. In these industries, AI is shifting from research labs and chatbots to secure, production-ready deployments.
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, “Communication networks are becoming the nation’s AI infrastructure. They connect people, businesses, devices, and machines, and can now form the foundation of a new AI cloud. With NVIDIA DSX, SK Telecom will be able to build an AI cloud in Korea at scale, delivering agent-based AI, enterprise AI, and physical AI to leading companies and industries in Korea and around the world.”
Chey Tae-won, Chairman of the SK Group, stated: “Through our close partnership with NVIDIA, we have secured full-stack AI infrastructure capabilities, from chips to data center operations. Working with NVIDIA, we will address GPU, memory, and energy challenges and aim to become a leading AI factory shaping Asia’s AI ecosystem.”
SK Telecom AI Cloud expands agent-based AI and physical AI for industry and enterprise.
The new SK Telecom AI Cloud is designed to meet the growing demand for AI infrastructure amidst the continued rapid growth of AI computing.
This new infrastructure is built on SK Telecom’s leadership in physical AI and agent-based AI development. At GTC Taipei in June, SK Telecom announced its latest initiative to apply a digital twin to the SK hynix semiconductor fab using the NVIDIA Omniverse ™ library , optimizing the technology for complex and large-scale manufacturing environments.
Also in April, SK Telecom announced that, as part of the South Korean government’s Sovereign AI Foundation Model Project, it had trained its AX K1 model using the open-source NVIDIA Nemotron ™ dataset.
Furthermore, as part of this collaboration, SK Telecom will become an NVIDIA Cloud Partner and participate in a global program that leverages NVIDIA’s latest AI infrastructure, software, and developer ecosystem to deliver superior AI performance and cost-effectiveness through AI cloud services.
The NVIDIA DSX platform enables rapid design and highly efficient operation.
The NVIDIA DSX platform is built from the ground up with the ultimate collaborative design for AI factories, and is built and operated to minimize token costs and accelerate time to production deployment across NVIDIA chips, systems, software, facilities, and partner technologies.
NVIDIA DSX MaxLPS™ software maximizes token performance per megawatt and minimizes token costs. NVIDIA DSX OS™ is open-source, modular software for lifecycle management, runtime consistency, health automation, fault tolerance, and multi-tenant AI factory operations—an operational layer that increases and improves provider revenue.
NVIDIA and SK Group are advancing joint research on next-generation AI infrastructure.
NVIDIA and SK Group announced today plans to move beyond infrastructure deployment and advance joint research to jointly develop a next-generation AI factory architecture.
The two companies will focus on silicon-to-grid innovation across accelerated computing, memory technology, and data center operations. SK Group companies, including NVIDIA and SK Telecom, will also explore full-stack AI factory optimization projects to enable more efficient, scalable, and fault-tolerant AI services.
