Upstage CEO Kim Sung-hoon says Fable5 foreign access ban highlights need for Korean sovereign AI
Upstage, a South Korean AI startup, said it aims to compete in global technology rivalry with sovereign AI. CEO Kim Sung-hoon said AI has become a national strategic asset and countries can cut off access. He cited a recent U.S. move to block foreigners from accessing Anthropic’s Fable5 and Mythos5. Upstage said its open-source Solar Open2 preview scored 44.4 on AAII 4.0 and is comparable to leading models.
