AI NewsWaveUpstage's Solar Pro 4 Formally Added to Government-Wide AI Common Platform
Key points
- Solar Pro 4 added to the government-wide AI common platform
- Usable inside the administrative network without separate GPUs
- Wider choice of homegrown LLMs for civil servants
Upstage has loaded its in-house large language model (LLM) "Solar Pro 4" onto the government-wide AI common platform and started formal service. The company announced it on Nov. 3. Tech M, Datanet, Techworld News, iNews24, AI Times, Digital Today, Digital Daily, EBN and AI Newspaper (인공지능신문) reported the same news.
The government-wide AI common platform is an AI infrastructure dedicated to the administrative network that the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Science and ICT provide to central ministries and local governments. Tech M, Datanet and Digital Today explained that the platform provides AI models, data, development environments and more in common.
Outlets pointed to the significance of the addition in slightly different ways. Techworld News and Digital Daily reported that central ministries and local governments can now use a homegrown large language model for work inside the administrative network without building separate GPU infrastructure. AI Newspaper noted that AI adoption has so far been constrained by the administrative network's security requirements and the burden of securing high-performance GPUs, and wrote that use is expanding through a common infrastructure provided by the government, beyond individual agencies building their own systems.
AI Times said Upstage's LLM has joined the lineup of AI models available on the government-wide administrative network, and put weight on the wider choice of LLMs civil servants can pick from for their work. Digital Daily said in its headline that the system blocks external transmission of public data. iNews24 wrote in its headline that formal service has begun on the government administrative network, and EBN wrote that it can be used right away on the administrative network.
Glossary A large language model (LLM) is an AI model that learns from vast amounts of text to understand and generate sentences. A GPU (graphics processing unit) is a computing chip widely used for training and running AI models.
