Flitto-FuriosaAI Partners on Next-Gen AI Language Service Development

**Flitto X FuriosaAI Kicks Off NPU-Based AI Interpretation & Translation Innovation! Joining Hands to Develop Next-Generation Technology That Breaks Down Language Barriers** Flitto, an AI language data specialist, and FuriosaAI, a leading domestic AI semiconductor company, have formed a strategic alliance, signaling a new era in the global AI interpretation and translation market. The two companies announced on the 1st that they signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for joint research on next-generation AI interpretation and translation technology, and will accelerate the development of innovative NPU (Neural Processing Unit)-based AI language services. The core of this collaboration is to optimally run Flitto's vast accumulated AI language data and real-world usage-based interpretation and translation solutions on FuriosaAI's high-performance, low-power NPU. Through this, the two companies aim to not only advance core AI language models such as speech recognition, machine translation, and speech synthesis but also commercialize next-generation AI language services like real-time simultaneous interpretation and automatic image translation. In particular, FuriosaAI's technological prowess, which possesses AI semiconductor chip design technology specialized in large language models (LLM) and vision AI inference, is expected to maximize synergy when combined with Flitto's sophisticated language data. Specific terms of the agreement encompass: ▲Joint development of high-quality AI language datasets and core model algorithms ▲Research on NPU-based real-time simultaneous interpretation and automatic image translation technology ▲Development of NPU-linked high-speed interpretation and translation application services ▲Sharing of both companies' R&D capabilities and operation of talent exchange programs. This demonstrates a strong commitment to fundamentally innovating the performance and efficiency of AI language services, going beyond a simple technological alliance. Ultimately, Flitto and FuriosaAI aim to provide end-users with an integrated interpretation and translation solution featuring enhanced performance and efficiency. Lee Jung-soo, CEO of Flitto, stated, "The fusion of high-quality AI language data and advanced NPU technology will be a key driving force for new innovations in the global AI language service market." He added, "Through this collaboration, we will dedicate all our efforts to developing advanced AI interpretation and translation solutions, leveraging our specialized R&D capabilities and technical talent." This strategic partnership is expected to redefine the future of AI language technology and serve as an important milestone in breaking down language barriers.
