AI agent startup Liner (CEO Jinwoo Kim) announced on the 4th that it has been selected as an elite team for the "Independent AI Foundation Model" project, promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT. Liner will participate in a consortium led by SK Telecom and, as a leading domestic technology company, will be responsible for developing technology specialized in precision information exploration.
This project aims to independently develop a Korean-style AI foundation model. A consortium of domestic and international research institutes, including SK Telecom, Seoul National University, and KAIST, as well as major companies such as Krafton, Rebellion, and Forty2Dot, is collaborating. The goal is to develop "full-stack AI," encompassing all stages of AI semiconductors, data, models, and services. Strengthening technological independence and competitiveness are key priorities.
Liner is recognized as a globally competitive company in AI search accuracy technology. It achieved a score of 95.3 on OpenAI's proprietary "SimpleQA Benchmark," demonstrating its world-leading accuracy. In some search-based components, it even surpassed GPT-4.1 in evaluation results. Liner currently provides services in over 220 countries, including the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia, with over 90% of its users coming from overseas.
In this project, Liner plans to minimize the AI hallucination phenomenon and contribute to the construction of a highly reliable Korean foundation model by ▲providing a real-world dataset, ▲building an accuracy evaluation system based on the Ranker model, and ▲designing a sentence-level reliability verification module.
Kim Jin-woo, CEO of Liner, said, “Based on our technological prowess built on massive real-world data and our experience operating global services, Liner will contribute to ensuring that Korean AI models can be reliably applied to the lives of our citizens,” and “We will collaborate with various specialized organizations within the SKT consortium to produce results that are both technologically complete and effective.”
