In the latest news, South Korea has announced plans to secure 10,000 high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) this year. The country plans to keep itself relevant in the race toward artificial intelligence.
“As competition for dominance in the AI industry intensifies, the competitive landscape is shifting from battles between companies to a full-scale rivalry between national innovation ecosystems”.
-South Korea’s acting President Choi Sang-mok said in a statement.
These 10,000 GPUs will be secured through public-private cooperation to help the country launch services at its national AI computing center early. While the US government has recently announced a new regulation that aims to restrict the flow of American AI chips and technology to certain countries, South Korea doesn’t fall into the restricted list.
The details of the type of GPU products to be purchased by South Korea, its models, and other particulars will be finalized by September of this year. The US regulation has essentially divided the world into two tiers. 18 countries are essentially exempt from the restrictions, while 120 face caps, and countries such as Iran, China, and Russia are barred completely.

-Musk said at a demonstration of Grok 3 on his social media platform X.
Musk’s team also said it was launching a new product called “Deep Search”, set to act as a “next generation search engine.”
