The "AI for everyone" plan seeks private entities to build and operate AI chatbots and agentic government services under contracts expiring in 2031. Successful bidders must use locally developed AI models and will receive up to 256 NVIDIA B200 GPUs, requiring them to match government funding. Local tech giants Kakao, Naver, SK Telecom, and LG are reportedly keen to participate, with proposals due by August 11th.
South Korea's tender creates direct demand for NVIDIA B200 GPUs and incentivizes local AI model development, reducing reliance on foreign providers.
