42Maru (CEO Dong-Hwan Kim) announced that it participated in the 'K-Moonshot Promotion Strategy MOU' event hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT held at the The Plaza Hotel in Seoul on the 11th as a partner company in the AI model field and established a cooperative system to solve national science and technology challenges.
This agreement is part of the "K-Moonshot Promotion Strategy," which aims to promote scientific and technological innovation and address key national research challenges by leveraging AI technology. The K-Moonshot Project is a national research program that aims to address 12 national missions in eight key fields, including space, quantum, semiconductors, and advanced bio, through AI-based research by 2035. To achieve this, the government plans to secure approximately 8,000 GPUs dedicated to scientific research and establish a "National Science AI Integrated Platform" to expand the foundation for collaboration among industry, academia, and research institutes.
The signing ceremony was attended by approximately 50 people, including Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Bae Kyung-hoon, officials from major government-funded research institutes such as the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), as well as representatives from 33 leading companies in AI infrastructure and eight key mission areas. The event also announced the launch of the "K-Moonshot Corporate Partnership," an AI infrastructure collaboration platform.
Forty2Maru was selected as a key partner in the AI modeling field, along with Naver Cloud and LG AI Research Institute, and participated in this agreement. The company will participate in R&D and demonstration collaborations to foster a national integrated scientific AI platform ecosystem and advance specialized AI models for scientific research. It will also play a role in establishing a foundation for collaboration between industry, academia, and research. It also plans to participate in various collaborative activities, including sharing research information, examining the industrial applicability of research results, and identifying and planning new collaborative projects.
To mitigate the hallucination problem of ultra-large language models, Forti2Maru developed a technology that combines the search-augmented generative technology "RAG42" and the AI reading technology "MRC42." It provides services based on the lightweight language model "LLM42," specialized for industrial fields. In particular, it supports private mode for enterprises, allowing the use of generative AI in environments that protect internal corporate data and sensitive customer information. It also focuses on reducing the cost burden incurred during solution construction, model training, and operation.
Kim Dong-hwan, CEO of FortiTumaru, stated that the company plans to utilize its lightweight language model and agentic AI technology to play a role in the collaborative process of solving national research projects in relation to its participation in this project.
Meanwhile, as collaboration between governments, businesses, and research institutes expands to apply artificial intelligence to scientific and technological research, interest is growing in the establishment of AI-based research and development platforms and the growth potential of related industries.
