This follows the previous investment from SK Telecom Venture Capital (SKTVC), the Silicon Valley-based venture capital arm of SK Telecom.
SK Telecom has entered into a partnership agreement with Anthropic to build a large language model (LLM) customized for telcos.
Under the partnership agreement, SK Telecom and Anthropic will jointly develop a multilingual LLM that supports languages, including Korean, English, German, Japanese, Arabic and Spanish.
SK Telecom and Anthropic will work together to bring the multilingual LLM to the Telco AI Platform currently being built by the Global Telco AI Alliance.
In May this year, Anthropic had raised $450 million from investors including Alphabet Inc's Google and Spark Capital. As of July 2023, Anthropic had raised $1.5 billion in Funding.
Founded in 2021 by CEO Dario Amodei and his sister Daniela, former employees of the senior team at OpenAI, Anthropic describes itself as “dedicated to building AI systems that people can rely on and generating research about the opportunities and risks of AI”.
Anthropic differ from OpenAI as — while OpenAI uses reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to improve safety and reduce harm, Anthropic employs reinforcement learning from AI feedback (RLAIF). The feedback, where one AI model corrects another, is based on a “list of rules or principles,” or what Anthropic calls “Constitutional AI.”
