KT Corp., South Korea’s second-largest mobile carrier, plans to release its proprietary large-scale AI model, Mi:dm, as open source on Hugging Face. Developed in 2023, Mi:dm is a large language model (LLM) specifically designed for the Korean language and culture, enhancing understanding of Korea’s social dynamics. The initial version is already implemented in KT’s customer service and media offerings. The forthcoming Mi:dm 2.0 will feature two variants: Mi:dm 2.0 Base, with 11.5 billion parameters, and Mi:dm 2.0 Mini, with 2.3 billion parameters, both supporting Korean and English. The Base version excels in Korean-specific tasks and document-based Q&A. This move marks KT as the first South Korean company to open-source a Korean-language LLM over 11 billion parameters, aiming to boost the domestic AI ecosystem. KT’s managing director emphasizes Mi:dm’s potential to enhance understanding of Korean culture while strengthening global competitiveness in AI solutions.
