NAVER + NVIDIA announce sovereign AI infrastructure expansion using NVIDIA DSX platform — 55 MW initial scale at GAK Sejong data center, gigawatt scaling target supports next-generation HyperCLOVA X models
NAVER and NVIDIA announced NAVER will expand its sovereign AI infrastructure using the NVIDIA DSX platform — starting at 55 megawatts with plans to scale to gigawatt capacity at the GAK Sejong data center in South Korea. The infrastructure supports next-generation HyperCLOVA X models. The sovereign-AI-infrastructure trajectory in South Korea adds to global pattern of nation-level AI compute capacity build-outs.
The substantive piece is the gigawatt-scale sovereign-AI-infrastructure commitment outside the China + US axis. China $295B 80% domestic-mandate national compute grid + Anthropic 1+ gigawatt data center commitments + NAVER 55MW-to-gigawatt sovereign infrastructure together represent global compute-capacity buildup across multiple national + commercial vectors.
The competitive read for H2 2026 to 2030 sovereign-AI-infrastructure trajectory is that Korea joins UAE (MGX) + EU (EUROPA + 35 NVIDIA supercomputers) + China (national grid) + US (hyperscaler + frontier-lab buildouts) at gigawatt-scale sovereign AI capacity commitment. The H2 2026 to 2030 global compute infrastructure landscape operates at substantively unprecedented capital + capacity scale.
