韩国计划通过政府支持的股权投资投入4.7万亿韩元（34.9亿美元），发展本土前沿AI模型，该资金属于拟议的2027年预算，仍需议会批准。另一条资金轨道将支持韩国自研模型在国内经济中的采用。当前LG AI Research、SK Telecom和Upstage竞争中的两名决赛者不会自动获得追加资金，政府将启动开放竞赛，初创公司也可参与。
要点（AI 据原文整理，数字均已与原文核对）
- South Korea wants to develop a homegrown frontier model through government-backed equity investments of 4.7 trillion won ($3.49 billion).
- The funding is part of the proposed 2027 budget, though parliament still needs to approve it.
- A second funding track would support the adoption of Korean-built models across the country's economy.
- The two finalists in the current competition between LG AI Research, SK Telecom, and Upstage won't automatically receive additional funding.
- When the current competition kicked off, the government pledged 530 billion won (about $390 million) to the five selected companies.
- Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are planning combined investments of around $725 billion for 2026 alone, mostly for AI data centers.
