TLDR:
- Trillion Labs, a new AI startup in South Korea, comes out of stealth mode with $4.2 million in funding.
- The startup plans to build a Korean-language large-language model to compete with global players like OpenAI.
Trillion Labs, founded by former Naver research scientist Jay Shin, aims to address the lack of top software companies in South Korea by building efficient AI models. The startup plans to launch its first AI model by the end of the year and expand its offerings to Japanese and Chinese languages in the future. Shin believes that moving quickly is crucial to prevent domination of the Korean AI market by foreign competitors.
