AMD and NAVER Cloud announce strategic collaboration to advance AI infrastructure in Korea

AMD has announced a strategic collaboration with NAVER Cloud to accelerate the development of sovereign AI infrastructure in Korea, supporting national-scale AI capabilities with AMD’s open, high-performance compute platforms. The collaboration further strengthens the existing relationship between the companies and aims to advance AI infrastructure by integrating AMD compute platforms across NAVER Cloud’s AI and cloud offerings.

To support large-scale AI training and inference workloads across its cloud and AI services, NAVER Cloud is expanding its use of AMD EPYC processors to include deployment of the upcoming 6th-Gen AMD EPYC “Venice” processor. AMD is also providing NAVER Cloud with access to next-generation AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs to support its cloud and production environments.

Both companies will collaborate to optimize NAVER Cloud AI services and software stacks on AMD platforms and AMD ROCm software. Additionally, the companies plan to collaborate on research and development initiatives to enable new AI services and solutions for NAVER customers.

“Sovereign AI infrastructure plays a critical role in accelerating how nations build and deploy advanced AI,” said Dr. Lisa Su, chair and CEO, AMD. “Our expanded collaboration with NAVER Cloud brings together AMD’s leadership AI compute platforms and open software ecosystem with NAVER’s cloud and AI capabilities to enable scalable infrastructure and accelerate the next generation of AI in Korea.”

“NAVER Cloud is focused on building scalable and open AI infrastructure to support the rapid growth of AI innovation,” said Soo Yeon Choi, CEO, Naver. “Through our collaboration with AMD, we will leverage high-performance AMD compute platforms to enhance our AI and cloud services and deliver new capabilities to customers and developers.”

This collaboration reflects the shared goal of both companies to advance sovereign AI infrastructure, enabling organizations in Korea to build and deploy AI services with greater control over data, performance, and scalability.
