South Korean tech giant Naver announced on Thursday that it has established the country's largest artificial intelligence (AI) computing cluster, deploying 4,000 of NVIDIA's next-generation B200 Blackwell graphics processing units (GPUs).
Naver stated in a press release that the B200 4K cluster provides the company with global-scale computing power and will support the development of its proprietary foundational models and the broader application of AI technology.
Naver CEO Choi Soo-yeon remarked, "This is a meaningful step toward strengthening national AI competitiveness and self-reliance."
She added, "Naver will leverage this infrastructure, capable of rapid training and iterative experimentation, to more flexibly apply AI technology across services and industrial sites, creating tangible value."
The cluster is specifically designed for large-scale parallel processing and high-speed communication, with performance comparable to the world's top 500 supercomputers.
Naver anticipates that this infrastructure will accelerate AI model development by approximately 12 times and plans to expand training for so-called omni-models, which can process text, images, video, and audio simultaneously.
