LG AI Research will release the latest AI model, EXAONE 3.0, a ‘lightweight model’ as open source for research purposes. This versatile model offers high performance and cost-efficiency, making it suitable for various research purposes.
LG AI Research has focused on developing generative AI for real-world industrial applications, releasing EXAONE 1.0 in December 2021 and EXAONE 2.0 in July 2023.
EXAONE 3.0 is a bilingual model that can learn and understand Korean and English.
LG AI Research has also been using red-teaming techniques to improve the safety and reliability of EXAONE 3.0. This involves intentionally attacking the AI model to find vulnerabilities in the technology and then making improvements based on what they find.
“As it is important to create AI that can be used in real-world industries, we plan to strengthen partnerships between LG affiliates and other companies and institutions with EXAONE, which has specialized performance and cost-efficiency,” said Bae Kyunghoon, President of LG AI Research. “In particular, we plan to open source this highly versatile and lightweight model so that academia and research institutes can utilize the latest generative AI technology, contributing to the AI research ecosystem and further enhancing AI competitiveness.”
LG AI Research will work with LG affiliates to bring EXAONE 3.0 to products and services in the year’s second half.
The company is also preparing for the transition to the ‘era of everyday AI’ by releasing the open beta version of ChatEXAONE, an enterprise AI agent based on EXAONE 3.0, to LG’s employees.
