On November 9, 2026, NVIDIA announced an expansion of sovereign AI cooperation with South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), covering AI semiconductors, data center infrastructure, talent, startups, models, agents, and security. The cooperation will allow South Korean NPU and XPU companies to explore joining the NVIDIA NVLink Fusion ecosystem, and will improve GPU utilization through training and certification, hackathons, and technical workshops. NVIDIA will also work with the three consortia and four foundation model vendors selected under South Korea's "AI for All" program to optimize and scale AI inference using NVIDIA Dynamo software. On the same day, separate reports said that at the hardware core, Rebellions' R200 NPU connects to the NVIDIA platform through NVLink Fusion, with rack-scale systems being developed based on the MGX architecture, expected to be deployable in 2028, and SK Telecom plans to launch them in its AI data centers; NVIDIA is also providing Dynamo deployment solutions based on B200 GPUs for SK Telecom A.X K2, LG AI Research K-EXAONE 2.0, Upstage Solar Open 2, and Motif-3.
