SK Telecom has passed a second-stage evaluation of the government’s project for a proprietary AI foundation model. The assessment reflected industrial applicability and impact on South Korea’s AI ecosystem. SKT plans to expand its technology scope in the next evaluation to models with up to trillion-level parameters and to multimodal and AI agent areas. It has developed the A.X K1 and expanded to A.X K2, and it is building derived vision and speech models and applying them in manufacturing and defence.

LG CNS said on Tuesday it signed a contract with global AI company Anthropic to introduce Claude Enterprise under an integrated deal applicable to all LG Group affiliates. It will open Claude to employees to pursue AI-driven productivity gains across work, including development. LG CNS plans to support the full process from deployment to use for LG affiliates and external companies to expand its AX business.
