(Upstage = 2023/9/18) Upstage stood shoulder to shoulder with leading global generative AI companies.

Korea's leading AI startup Upstage (CEO Seong-Hoon Kim) announced on the 18th that its LLM model 'SOLAR' (hereinafter referred to as Solar) has been registered as the main model in 'Poe', a global creation AI utilization platform.

Upstage Solar is an abbreviation for 'Specialized and Optimized Llm and Applications with Reliability'. Upstage developed Solar based on its No. 1 hugging face model that surpassed ChatGPT.

Poe is operated by global knowledge service Quora and is a global representative creation AI platform that allows you to communicate with various AI models and create your own chatbot by entering desired prompts. Poe is gaining more attention as it allows the use of thousands of generated AI models, including models created by individuals as well as famous LLM models.

Through cooperation with Poe, Upstage's Solar has been registered as a main official model with high accessibility as it can be viewed directly on the main page. As for Poe's main model, only four companies' LLMs, including OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Farm, Metarama, and Entropic Claude, are on the list and are evaluated as the standard for high-performance models. The addition of Upstage Solar's main model is the first domestic LLM model to be recognized for its performance comparable to that of the world's best generative AI companies.

UPSTAGE SOLAR, AS ITS NAME SUGGESTS, FOCUSES ON DOMAIN SPECIALIZATION AND OPTIMIZATION AND AIMS FOR A PRIVATE LLM THAT CAN LEARN CORPORATE DATA AND PREVENT INFORMATION LEAKS AND HALLUCINATIONS. THIS IS ATTRACTING ATTENTION AS AN ALTERNATIVE THAT CAN SOLVE CONCERNS ABOUT INTERNAL DATA LEAKAGE AND HALLUCINATION, WHICH PROVIDES INCORRECT INFORMATION, WHICH ARE CHRONIC PROBLEMS OF GENERATIVE AI.

PRIVATE LLM, BASED ON UPSTAGE SOLAR, IS CUSTOMIZED TO SUIT THE CHARACTERISTICS AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMPANY AND WILL PROVIDE SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE EVEN WITH A LIGHTER MODEL SIZE. THROUGH THIS, COMPANIES CAN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE ADOPTION AND OPERATING COSTS WHILE INCREASING ACCURACY AND SECURITY.

RECENTLY, VARIOUS COMPANIES ARE EXPANDING DISCUSSIONS ON THE ADVANTAGES OF UPSTAGE PRIVATE LLM, SUCH AS HIGH PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY, AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY, STARTING WITH COOPERATION WITH CONNECTWAVE AND LOTTE SHOPPING TO APPLY GENERATED AI SERVICES. THE E-COMMERCE AND DISTRIBUTION INDUSTRIES PLAN TO USE THE SOLAR MODEL TO APPLY CUSTOMIZED MARKETING, AI-BASED CUSTOMER CONSULTATION, AND AUTOMATIC ORDERING SYSTEMS BASED ON DEMAND PREDICTION.

Upstage plans to accelerate the development of private LLM with leading companies in various industries as well as e-commerce. Through solutions such as Document AI for document automation and Seargest, which combines search and recommendation functions with LLM, Upstage is used by financial institutions such as Hanwha Life Insurance, Samsung Life Insurance, and KB, as well as POSCO, KT, LG U+, Lotte On, and Brandy Amore Pacific, etc. We are also collaborating with top companies in various industries.

Upstage plans to do its best to promote Solar to the global market through cooperation with Poe, secure multilingual data and models, and connect global companies to use it.

Kim Seong-hoon, CEO of Upstage, said, “I think Upstage’s Solar is a representative example of the technological prowess and potential of domestic AI startups.” He added, “Through cooperation with Poe, we will introduce Solar to the global market and provide private LLM services in various fields.” “We will do our best to make it happen,” he said.
