Lambda and SK Telecom Launch AI Cloud Services in South Korea

New GPU cloud service aims to enhance AI infrastructure and accessibility across South Korea’s enterprises and research labs.

In order to offer advanced AI cloud services in South Korea, Lambda, a top AI developer cloud platform, and SK Telecom (SKT) have established a strategic alliance. Later this year, SK Broadband's Gasan data center will serve as Lambda's AI Cloud platform, a major advancement in the nation's AI infrastructure thanks to this partnership.

The new GPU cloud service provides scalable AI computational capability to help startups, corporations, and research laboratories. The goal of this project is to make GPU computing as widely available as electricity, which will speed up the advancement and application of AI technology.

Stephen Balaban, Lambda’s CEO and co-founder, highlighted the importance of the partnership, stating, “SKT shares in our vision to make GPU compute as ubiquitous as electricity. We’re thrilled to collaborate with SKT to advance South Korea’s position as a global AI leader.”

Kim Kyeong-deog, Vice President and Head of Enterprise Business Division at SK Telecom, stressed the strategic benefits of the alliance, noting, “This partnership will strengthen SK Telecom’s AI capabilities and open new business opportunities.”

This deployment reflects the growing demand for robust AI infrastructure in South Korea and underscores the commitment of both Lambda and SK Telecom to driving AI innovation.
