Xenon, Korea Midland Power, and Rebellion to Jointly Develop AI Services Tailored for Power Plants

Three-Party MOU Signed

Xenon, a company specializing in generative artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, announced on December 2 that it has signed a three-party memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Korea Midland Power and the AI semiconductor startup Rebellion to jointly develop "AI work services based on domestic NPU technology."

This agreement was initiated to enable collaboration between a domestic generative AI company, a public institution, and an AI semiconductor startup to jointly develop practical AI services based on domestically produced AI semiconductors (NPUs).

Under the agreement, the three companies will jointly develop the "Hi-Komi AI Service," an AI solution tailored to Korea Midland Power's work environment, leveraging Rebellion's high-performance NPU hardware. In this process, Xenon will optimize its large language model (LLM) inference engine for Rebellion's NPU, and, based on this, support the development of high-performance Hi-Komi AI application services optimized for power plant operations, as well as the creation of various new services. Hi-Komi is a generative AI service introduced by Korea Midland Power in December last year, with Xenon having carried out both the initial and current second phases of the project.

The joint development project will be implemented in phases starting this December. In addition to the existing Hi-Komi service installed in the GPU environment, Xenon's generative AI platform "GenOS" will also be applied to AI servers equipped with Rebellion's "ATOM-Max" NPU, establishing a stable operational environment for the Hi-Komi AI service. Subsequently, the companies plan to develop an automation system on the NPU-based GenOS platform, including real-time data analysis, forecasting, and AI inference. With the establishment of a high-performance NPU infrastructure through this agreement, an environment has been created to maximize AI computing and energy efficiency, raising expectations that the Hi-Komi service will be able to expand in a way that is even more closely integrated with on-site operations.

Ko Seoktae, CEO of Xenon, stated, "This collaboration between an AI solutions company, an AI semiconductor startup, and a public institution has set a model example for building an AI ecosystem based on domestic technology. With the technical foundation secured through this partnership, Xenon will fully leverage its technological capabilities to work closely with each organization, further advancing the Hi-Komi service so that it can be even more tightly integrated with real-world work environments."
