Xenon Signs Business Agreement with Korea Midland Power and Rebellion

Xenon (CEO Seok-Tae Koh), a company specializing in generative AI solutions, announced on the 2nd that it has signed a three-party business agreement (MOU) with Korea Midland Power and AI semiconductor startup Rebellion for the joint development of AI business services based on domestic NPUs.

This agreement was initiated by domestic generative AI companies, public institutions, and AI semiconductor startups to jointly develop practical AI services optimized for power plant environments, utilizing domestically produced artificial intelligence semiconductors (NPUs). The goal of this collaboration is to build AI infrastructure and application services centered on domestic technology and foster a self-sufficient AI ecosystem based on public-private partnerships.

Under the agreement, Xenon will optimize its Large-Scale Language Model (LLM) inference engine for Rebellion's NPU and jointly develop the "Hi-Komi" AI service tailored to Korea Midland Power's business environment. Hi-Komi is the first generative AI service introduced by a power generation company in December of last year, and Xenon is currently working on the second phase following the first.

The joint development project will be implemented in phases starting in December. In addition to the existing Hicomi service operating in a GPU environment, Xenon's generative AI platform, GenOS, will be applied to AI servers equipped with Rebellion's ATOM-Max NPU to establish a stable operating environment. Subsequently, plans are underway to develop an automated system, including real-time data analysis, prediction, and AI inference, on the NPU-based GenOS platform.

“It is meaningful that AI solution companies, AI semiconductor startups, and public institutions are collaborating to create a best practice for building an AI ecosystem based on domestic technology,” said Ko Seok-tae, CEO of Xenon. “We will do our best to utilize the technology base secured through this collaboration to ensure that Hicomi services can be more closely linked with work sites.”
