Allganize Passes First Evaluation of 'Independent AI Foundation Model Project'

The Upstage Consortium, which includes Allganize , announced on the 19th that it has passed the first evaluation of the "Independent AI Foundation Model Project" promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT. Allganize plans to support the global expansion and expansion of the AI foundation model developed by the consortium.

This project aims to develop a foundation model based on the proprietary technologies of domestic AI companies and establish an AI ecosystem competitive across industries and in the global market. The process will proceed in a phased evaluation process. Three consortiums, including Upstage, LG AI Research Center, and SK Telecom, passed the first evaluation and were selected to advance to the second phase.

The Upstage Consortium, in which Allganize participates, is a collaborative industry-academia-research organization comprised of companies and institutions focused on AI model development, R&D, talent development, and industry-specific applications. The consortium is developing a global-level AI foundation model, "Solar WBL," to promote the spread of AI technology across diverse industries, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, law, public sector, and education, and aims to secure technological sovereignty.

Within the consortium, Allganize will be responsible for optimizing AI models for each country and industry, leveraging its Agent RAG technology and large-scale language model (LLM) fine-tuning capabilities, and for global market expansion. Drawing on its experience in supplying AI technologies tailored to each country's industrial environment and regulatory requirements, Allganize plans to support the development of models that achieve practical applicability and competitiveness in the global market.

Allganize has experience building AI solutions in environments requiring high security and stability, particularly in the financial and public sectors. In Korea, it provides LLM-based solutions to Woori Investment & Securities, KB Securities, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), and KEPCO KDN. Internationally, it provides its all-in-one LLM solution, "Alli," to companies such as SMBC and Nomura Securities in Japan and the Oklahoma State Government in the United States.

Lee Won-gang, Vice President of Organize, stated that the company will actively utilize its accumulated technological capabilities and business experience to ensure that the AI foundation model developed through this project goes beyond technological development and becomes competitive in the global market.
