SK Group Chairman Chei Tae Won and NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang met on the 8th. The meeting discussed AI hardware, the supply of HBM memory, and the development of “physical AI”. This technological partnership is expected to bring about major changes in the AI and robotics industry.
Seoul, South Korea: SK Group Chairman Chei Tae Won and NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang recently held an important meeting. The main purpose of this meeting was to strengthen cooperation in the field of AI hardware and discuss the supply of HBM (high-bandwidth memory).
SK Hynix’s role in HBM development
Chei Tae Won revealed that SK Hynix, which is SK Group’s most valuable subsidiary, is now moving at a fast pace in the development of HBM memory. He said, “Our HBM development speed is now faster than NVIDIA’s demand.” Previously, NVIDIA had expressed concern over SK Hynix’s slow development speed, but now this issue has been resolved.
He also added that this speed may increase even more in the future. Chei also emphasized South Korea’s strong manufacturing capabilities and expertise. Currently, SK Hynix is the main supplier of HBM for NVIDIA.
Physical AI: The beginning of a new revolution
During the meeting, the concept of “physical AI” was also discussed in detail. NVIDIA CEO Huang said, “We have to extend AI to the physical environment. There is a need to develop tools that can ‘advance, reason, plan and act’.”
He said that working in this direction, NVIDIA has launched a physical AI development platform called “Cosmos” this week. This platform will help in the development of autonomous vehicles, robots, and other physical AI systems.
Features of Cosmos Platform
The Cosmos platform includes the world’s most advanced models, security protection mechanisms, and fast video processing pipelines. It aims to provide developers with high-quality synthetic data, allowing them to better train and test their models.
This platform is being adopted by robotics and automotive companies such as Uber, XPENG Motors, Agility Robotics, and Neura Robotics. These companies believe that the Cosmos model will give a new direction to the future of AI.
Future of AI and HBM
Technological experts believe that this partnership between NVIDIA and SK Hynix can prove to be a milestone for the AI industry. This collaboration will not only boost HBM memory supply but will also help open new dimensions of AI and robotics.
Experts also say that the development of physical AI can transform a $50 trillion industry. This includes areas such as autonomous vehicles, smart factories, and intelligent robots.
This collaboration between SK Group and NVIDIA in the field of AI and HBM memory can revolutionize the technological world. Through the physical AI platform Cosmos, not only new models will be trained, but innovation will be taken to new heights.
