SEOUL, South Korea, June 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVIDIA and SK Telecom today announced that SK Telecom plans to build a gigawatt-scale AI Cloud in Korea using the NVIDIA DSX platform, with the first AI factory coming online in 2027.

An AI Cloud is large-scale AI infrastructure comprised of AI factories that manufacture tokens, building blocks of intelligence, from data. Unlike conventional large-scale providers offering general-purpose cloud services, AI Clouds specialize in GPU-based cloud computing tailored specifically for AI workloads across training, inference and agentic AI.

SK Telecom’s AI Cloud will be built on the NVIDIA DSX full-stack reference architecture of software, hardware and operations producing the lowest-cost tokens at maximum energy efficiency.

SK Telecom’s AI Cloud will power training, inference and agentic workloads including sovereign, physical and enterprise AI services for companies and industries across Korea, with the vision to expand to greater Asia regions.

The initiative reflects Korea’s role as one of the world’s most advanced pro-AI industrial economies. Korean companies lead in telecommunications, memory, semiconductors, manufacturing, robotics, mobility and consumer technology — industries where AI is moving from research labs and chatbots into secure, production-grade deployments.

“Telecom networks are becoming national AI infrastructure,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “They connect people, companies, devices and machines — and now they can become the backbone of new AI clouds. With NVIDIA DSX, SK Telecom can build Korea’s AI cloud at scale and bring agents, enterprise and physical AI to the companies and industries that power Korea and the world.”
