About
NCSoft, established in 1997 in Seoul, South Korea, is making significant strides in artificial intelligence (AI) research and development, highlighted by its creation of VARCO, a large language model (LLM). VARCO, built on the open-source Llama 3.1, excels in Korean language processing due to NCSOFT's proprietary technology. The company has also developed VARCO Judge LLM, a specialized model for evaluating the performance of other LLMs. Beyond LLMs, NCSOFT is advancing the creation of digital humans, utilizing its AI-based speech synthesis and facial animation technologies. Showcased in Project M, these digital humans demonstrate realistic rendering and AI-driven animation, capable of natural speech, lip-synchronization, and emotive facial expressions. These innovations highlight NCSOFT's commitment to integrating AI into game development and beyond. NCSOFT's AI strategy includes internal development, open-source contributions, and collaboration. The company released Llama-VARCO LLM as open-source on Hugging Face to foster global AI innovation. NC AI, a dedicated subsidiary, focuses on AI technology development and business expansion, supporting internal game development and exploring new commercial ventures.
