Korea’s Naver joins generative AI race with HyperCLOVA X large language model

Watch all the Transform 2020 sessions on-demand here.


Another big gun is entering the AI race.

Korean internet giant Naver today announced the launch of HyperCLOVA X, its next-generation large language model (LLM) that delivers conversational AI experiences through a question-answering chatbot called CLOVA X.

The company said it has opened beta testing for CLOVA X in English and Korean and will make HyperCLOVA X available to enterprise users, allowing them to customize the model on their own data. It also plans to add an AI function called Cue into its search engine, much like what Microsoft has done with Bing, by November 2023.

The move comes at a time when companies across sectors are racing to build AI into their internal workflows to drive efficiencies while the vendors providing these services are going all-in on new capabilities to make the implementation easier. Just recently, OpenAI, which started the generative AI wave, announced that its GPT-3.5 Turbo model can now be fine-tuned on enterprise datasets, while Midjourney expanded its tool with a new generative infill feature.
