Hock Tan, CEO of Broadcom, met with a Korean interviewer at an AI summit and expressed Broadcom's commitment to Korea's AI sovereignty and its vision as a global AI hub. He outlined two main areas of collaboration with Korea. First, Broadcom is jointly developing and researching high-band memory (HBM) with Samsung and SK Hynix, integrating it with Broadcom's GPUs and CPUs to create advanced AI solutions. Second, Tan highlighted Korea's entrepreneurial startup ecosystem, noting that many startups are creating local large language models (LLMs) and frontier models. These startups, lacking access to expensive general-purpose GPUs, collaborate with Broadcom to design custom accelerators tailored to their workloads. Tan praised the startups' ability to build LLMs with small capital and emphasized that Broadcom's custom semiconductors support Korea's sovereign AI ambitions.
