SK Telecom to build gigawatt-scale AI Cloud in Korea using NVIDIA DSX platform, with first AI factory coming online in 2027

SK Telecom announced plans to construct a gigawatt-scale AI Cloud in Korea using the NVIDIA DSX platform, with the first AI factory planned to come online in 2027.

The AI Cloud will be built on NVIDIA DSX, a full-stack reference architecture combining software, hardware and operations to produce low-cost tokens at maximum energy efficiency. It will power training, inference and agentic workloads (where AI systems autonomously make decisions and take actions) for sovereign, physical and enterprise AI services across Korea.

NVIDIA and SK Group are planning to expand collaboration from AI infrastructure deployments to joint research on next-generation AI factory architectures.
