LG AI Research

NVIDIA is expanding its agentic AI footprint in Korea: Hyundai Motor Group is exploring NemoClaw blueprints and the OpenShell runtime, while Korean AI security firm AIM Intelligence is integrating its Starfort agent-control platform with OpenShell to combine sandboxed execution and policy-based controls with detection of malicious instructions and data leakage. On the model side, LG AI Research is opening API access to K-EXAONE-2.5, trained with Nemotron datasets. The announcement remains largely vendor ecosystem partnership and platform promotion, without verifiable technical benchmarks.

LG AI Research has made its K-EXAONE 2.5 model API freely available to developers, enterprises, and research institutions at no cost. The model, further trained from the August release, shows agentic capabilities on par with DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash and GLM-5.3 across AutomationBench, SWE-Bench Pro, BrowseComp, and Claw-Eval.
