NAVER Expands AI Infrastructure with NVIDIA to Meet Surging Sovereign AI Demand

News Summary:

NAVER, an AI cloud provider, is building a gigawatt-scale AI factory on the NVIDIA DSX platform, starting with an expansion of its AI infrastructure at GAK Sejong.

NVIDIA DSX provides NAVER with a proven AI factory blueprint to serve industries in Korea and global AI cloud customers amid surging demand for useful AI at minimal token costs.

NAVER is utilizing NVIDIA’s full-stack AI platform, models, and software to advance regional AI models, including the development of next-generation HyperCLOVA X models, the Seoul World Model, and agentic AI services.

SEOUL, Korea — June 8, 2026 — NVIDIA and NAVER today announced a plan to expand NAVER’s sovereign AI infrastructure, starting from 55 megawatts and moving toward gigawatt-scale, utilizing the NVIDIA DSX™ platform. This will enable rapid design, construction, and scaling of full-stack, end-to-end AI platforms for enterprises, industries, and governments.

"Useful AI has arrived, and the demand for AI factories is phenomenal," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "NAVER is building AI factory infrastructure for companies, developers, and industries. By leveraging NVIDIA DSX, we can help Korea scale its sovereign intelligence infrastructure for the agent era—from AI agents to AI factories and physical AI."

"NAVER is building sovereign AI infrastructure that can serve the Korean industry and global customers with reliable, high-performance AI," said Haejin Lee, founder and chairman of NAVER. "Building on the NVIDIA DSX platform, we support our customers in transitioning from AI validation to production-ready AI factories that power models, agents, and real-world services."

As useful AI moves into production, AI factories are becoming critical infrastructure for training, post-training, and inference. NAVER’s AI factory, built with the NVIDIA DSX platform and NVIDIA accelerated computing, provides a sovereign foundation in Korea for building intelligence for enterprises, manufacturers, government agencies, and AI cloud customers.

The new DSX-powered cloud expands the GAK Sejong data center, a next-generation hyperscale facility in Sejong, South Korea, built to support NAVER’s rapidly growing AI and cloud services.

Designed for high-density NVIDIA accelerated computing, GAK Sejong achieves resilient and energy-efficient operations through advanced automation, sustainability features, and robust disaster response capabilities. GAK Sejong is positioned to support NAVER’s large-scale digital services and innovation both within and outside of Korea.

NAVER is meeting the demand for sovereign AI through infrastructure in Europe and the Middle East. By combining hyperscale data center capabilities with NVIDIA DSX, NAVER aims to provide a reliable alternative for government and enterprise customers, delivering secure, high-performance digital services that comply with local regulatory and data sovereignty requirements.

NAVER is accelerating its AI data center business, as well as advancing sovereign AI models and agentic AI services, by leveraging NVIDIA’s full-stack AI platform.

The new AI cloud infrastructure is built on the partnership between NVIDIA and NAVER to advance sovereign AI and physical AI models in Korea. NAVER is utilizing its proprietary data and training expertise to advance the NVIDIA Nemotron™ 3 Ultra open model.
