NVIDIA invests in Point2 and plans stakes in Upstage, Motif and RLWRLD

Nov 9, 2026
NVIDIA announced the Korean startup investments at a forum with Korea's science ministry; amounts were not disclosed.

NVIDIA said in a company blog post that it invested in Point2 Technology and plans investments in Motif Technologies, RLWRLD and Upstage. It disclosed them at the MSIT-NVIDIA AI Startup Partnership Forum, where Vice Minister of Science and ICT Ryu Je-myung joined NVIDIA leaders to meet more than 20 Korean startups. NVIDIA did not give the size of any investment.

Point2 develops radio frequency based connections for moving data between chips and racks in AI computing facilities. Motif develops foundation models for AI agents, including its open weight Motif-3 language model.

RLWRLD builds robotics foundation models for humanoid and industrial robots. Upstage develops Solar language models and document AI tools for extracting information and automating business workflows.

The plans add to NVIDIA's ties with Korea's startup scene, where more than 1,000 Korea-based companies belong to its Inception programme.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
