Nvidia, Rebellions and SK Telecom team up on Korean sovereign AI systems built on NVLink Fusion

Nov 9, 2026
Rebellions will connect its R200 chips to Nvidia's platform and SK Telecom plans to deploy the systems, which are expected in 2028.

NVIDIA, Rebellions and SK Telecom have announced a collaboration on Korea's sovereign AI infrastructure, NVIDIA said on November 8. Rebellions will use NVIDIA NVLink Fusion to connect its Rebel R200 neural processing units to NVIDIA's platform and build rack-scale systems on the MGX architecture, and SK Telecom plans to deploy them in its AI data centre.

The collaboration is supported by Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT and aims to support AI services tailored to Korea's language and industries. SK Telecom plans to combine the systems with its own models, including A.X K2, and public services under Korea's "AI for All" project. "With NVLink Fusion, Korea's chipmakers can connect their custom ASICs to NVIDIA's AI factory platform," said NVIDIA chief executive Jensen Huang.

Rebellions designs the R200 for low-latency, energy-efficient inference on frontier models. The companies expect the systems to be ready for deployment in 2028, and no transaction value or order quantity was disclosed, Securities.io notes.

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.
