Nvidia Partners With Rebellions and SK Telecom on South Korean Sovereign AI Infrastructure

Nvidia has formed a tripartite partnership with South Korean startup Rebellions and telecommunications provider SK Telecom to develop domestic sovereign AI infrastructure. Backed by South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT, Rebellions will integrate its Rebel R200 neural processing units with Nvidia's MGX rack architecture using NVLink Fusion interconnects. SK Telecom will deploy and operate the hybrid systems across its AI data center network to run large language models and national initiatives like 'AI for All'. The architecture pairs Nvidia GPUs for prefill with Rebellions NPUs for decoding, with full deployment targeted for 2028.
