AI 기술 및 서비스 기업 6개사(클루커스, 누리어시스템, 링네트, 투라인코드, 와이즈넛, 위즈)가 'AX(AI Transformation) 얼라이언스' 출범식을 30일(화) 서울 강남구 삼성동 서울 파르나스호텔에서 개최했다.
Building an integrated platform dedicated to enterprise AI
Collaboration on expertise from AI infrastructure to data processing
Six domestic AI companies have joined forces to form the 'AX Alliance'. The AX Alliance provides integrated solutions and services for building AI platforms for enterprises based on the expertise of each company.
Six AI technology and service companies (Cloocus, Nurie System, Ringnet, Tourine Code, Wisenut, and Wiz) held the 'AX (AI Transformation) Alliance' launch ceremony at the Seoul Parnas Hotel in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on Tuesday the 30th.
There are a lot of examples of generative AI being used in each industry. In healthcare, manufacturing, utilities, entertainment, education, etc., generative AI can be used as a service model for chatbots, design and development, content creation, data analysis, etc.
There are several steps to building an AI platform. From AI infrastructure construction, data preprocessing, LLM (RAG construction), prompt engineering, fine-tuning, LLMOps, AI portal development, etc. However, the AX Alliance claims that it is difficult for one company to do all of these processes.
The AX Alliance shares the goal of building a full stack for custom AI platforms for enterprises looking to use generative AI across a variety of industries. The idea is that when implementing AI technology, experts in each field will work together to provide services to customers as if they were one company, from development to operation.
The six companies participating in the AX Alliance are: △Cloocus (data and AI-based cloud consulting and management), △Nuri System (financial system, security, smart SW system construction, and consulting specialist), △Ringnet (network and AI infrastructure construction specialist), △Twoline Code (cloud native, AI specialist), △WiseNut (AI specialist), and △Wiz (global cloud security company).
Clucus and Ringnet, Wiz are responsible for the cloud-based scalable security infrastructure aspect. Wisenut, Clucus, and Twoline Code provide optimization and operation of AI model performance based on high-quality data. Twoline Code provides MSA and API for optimizing user experience, and Nurie System provides technical services as a specialized area for security-based AI portal development.
Hong Seong-wan, CEO of Cluckus, said, "Building a complex AI platform is difficult to do alone, so experts from each field have come together to resolve this issue," and added, "We will respond to the needs of companies and the global market that require this."
“General purpose models like ChatGPT provide APIs as open source, but they do not identify each customer’s needs and create customized solutions,” said WiseNut Managing Director Lee Seok-won. “Since AI is utilized in all fields, the ultimate goal of the AX Alliance is to provide an end-to-end stack tailored to customers faster than anyone else across a wide range of industries.”
The AX Alliance viewed the alliance itself positively. “Rather than competing specifically with other alliances, we will build industry-specific AI platforms and expand references by building long-term trust with customers in the form of a consortium,” said CEO Hong. Executive Director Lee added, “It is not time to compete, but to cooperate,” and “There will be no cutthroat competition.”
On this day, the AX Alliance promised comprehensive cooperation, including the discovery of verification projects, technology verification (PoC/BMT) and operation of demo environments, consulting and pre-sales, and operation of technology, sales, and marketing education, through the formation of a permanent consultative body for the development of new markets. In addition, the company announced plans to expand the number of AX Alliance participants to foster the ecosystem by continuously recruiting AI companies with specialized technologies to support the development of AI solutions tailored to the diverse and specialized needs of customers.
