SK Telecom Unveils AI Pyramid Strategy Aiming to Become a Global AI Powerhouse


Musk predicts that space will become the most cost-effective location for AI deployment in the next three years. He believes the core bottleneck in current AI development is not a shortage of chips, but the inability of Earth's energy supply to meet the explosive growth of AI infrastructure.
NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun reaffirmed that the $100 billion investment plan in OpenAI is progressing steadily, denying rumors of strained relations between the two parties. The investment was announced in September last year, aimed at supporting OpenAI in building artificial intelligence.
NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun confirmed that the company will participate in OpenAI's latest funding round. The investment amount is much lower than the reported 10 billion USD, but it may be the company's largest investment to date. He called it a very good investment, and the cooperation intention between the two sides has been ongoing since last September.
Cross-border venture capital firm Nexus Venture Partners has completed the fundraising of its $700 million eighth fund, continuing the size of the previous one. Over the next three years, half of the funds will be invested in AI infrastructure and the agent track, while the other half will continue to focus on Indian local consumer, logistics, and digital infrastructure sectors. The firm maintains a 'small fund' strategy, fundraising every 2.5-3 years, with the first check amounting to around $1 million, focusing on early-stage investments from seed to Series A.
NVIDIA responded to Google's AI progress, emphasizing its core position in the AI infrastructure field, stating that it is the only one capable of running all major AI models and covering the entire platform from the cloud to edge computing, leading the industry by about a generation. Huang Renxun pointed out that NVIDIA's general-purpose GPUs are superior to specialized AI chips in terms of performance, flexibility, and substitutability.
