GAK Sejong: NAVER's Gigawatt-Scale NVIDIA DSX AI Factory

Status: South Korea   |   Location: 824, Haengbok-daero, Sejong-si, South Korea

Project Overview

The NAVER GAK Sejong AI Expansion is a landmark digital infrastructure development transforming NAVER's existing hyperscale flagship into a massive, gigawatt-scale AI Factory. Formally announced on June 7, 2026, via a strategic alliance with NVIDIA, the project serves as the primary launchpad for South Korea’s sovereign artificial intelligence initiative. The expansion is custom-engineered to meet strict data localization and security mandates for domestic enterprise and government operations. Moving rapidly into hardware staging, specialized power distribution upgrades, and mechanical modifications in mid-2026, the project kicks off with an immediate 55 MW hardware expansion layer. Rather than operating as a general-purpose cloud center, the new wing is built entirely on the unified NVIDIA DSX full-stack reference architecture. This specialized layout combines high-density accelerated computing matrices, custom runtime layers, and advanced workload orchestration to minimize token creation costs. The facility will directly power NAVER’s upcoming real-time AI Agent Platform and the "Seoul World Model" a massive spatial digital twin utilizing urban street-view modeling and generative physics simulators.
