(2)It seems to be the Japanese government’s big picture plan to take over the world (the rightness or wrongness of the method aside).
(3)The global AI war is being fought in the era of increasing protectionism, and the Japanese government’s move to survive this confrontation has made many people think.

(8)Large-scale language models (LLMs) with more than 100 billion parameters corresponding to human brain synapses require a lot of capital. Not only do you need to attract and intensively develop high-end brains, but you also need a lot of computing power, such as data centers. Having money doesn’t mean you can build it all. The global demand for development has led to long lines at Nvidia, which controls more than 80% of the AI accelerator market.
(9)The H100, a $50 million chip, takes 50 weeks from order to shipment. This is why LLMs are a country’s technology agglomeration. South Korea has succeeded in building LLMs at a fairly fast pace, following the US and China. NAVER’s HyperClova X, LG AI Research’s ExOne, and SK Telecom’s A.D.X are the products of these efforts.

(11)Japanese government ambitions for sovereign AI
(12)Meanwhile, the Japanese government’s decision to separate the systems between Line and Naver, citing security concerns, while simultaneously granting SoftBank an additional 370 billion won in subsidies for its supercomputing infrastructure, is believed to be driven by its ambition to develop a country-centric super-large language model (LLM).
(13)”Regardless of the right or wrong of the method, if we consider this incident and the Japanese government’s subsidy together, it seems to be a big picture of the Japanese government’s intention to quickly build its own sovereign LLM technology industry ecosystem to secure a global leadership position,” Ha Jung-woo, head of NAVER Cloud’s AI Innovation Center, wrote on social media. Sovereign AL refers to a country’s ability to develop AI using its own infrastructure, data, people, and business networks.
