3 Key Points

  • What happened

    On June 8, South Korean telecom company SK Telecom announced it will use NVIDIA's DSX platform to build a gigawatt-scale AI cloud facility set to come online next year. The facility will handle training, inference, and agentic AI (self-directed AI systems) workloads for enterprises and industries across Korea. SK Telecom will also join NVIDIA's Cloud Partner program, which provides access to AI infrastructure software and developer tools.

  • Why it matters

    NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has stated that telecom networks are increasingly becoming national AI infrastructure because of their ability to connect people, companies, and machines. This partnership signals how telecom operators are positioning themselves as providers of critical AI compute resources, not just communications services. The deal also builds on existing work between the companies, including digital twin applications for semiconductor facilities using NVIDIA's Omniverse libraries.

  • What to watch

    NVIDIA and SK Telecom are also planning to collaborate on next-generation AI factory architecture and will focus on accelerated computing, memory technologies, and data center operations. The facility is expected to be operational next year.
