Rebellions plans to connect its next-generation R200 NPUs to NVIDIA’s open infrastructure platform using NVLink Fusion
On November 8, 2026, NVIDIA, Rebellions and SK Telecom announced a collaboration to advance Korea’s sovereign AI infrastructure. Rebellions plans to connect its next-generation R200 neural processing units to NVIDIA’s open infrastructure platform using NVLink Fusion and use NVIDIA MGX for rack-scale system development. The collaboration is supported by Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT and aims to connect domestic semiconductor innovation with infrastructure for sovereign AI.
Rebellions is developing its next-generation R200 NPU optimized for low-latency, energy-efficient inference
Rebellions is developing its next-generation R200 NPU, optimized for low-latency and energy-efficient inference using frontier models, including multitrillion-parameter mixture-of-experts models. Through NVLink Fusion, Rebellions will connect its R200 NPUs within a rack through NVIDIA NVLink scale-up networking. The NVIDIA MGX rack architecture and reference designs will support system development, while the MGX ecosystem gives Rebellions access to an established supply chain of original design manufacturers and component suppliers.
MGX provides a foundation for GPU and NPU systems to share data center design elements
The MGX rack architecture provides a foundation for GPU and NPU systems to share data center design elements, including rack footprint, power delivery and cooling. The companies plan to develop an approach to disaggregated inference, assigning different stages of AI response generation to the processor architecture best suited to each task. Their planned work includes using NVIDIA GPUs for prefill and Rebellions NPUs for decode to improve inference throughput and power efficiency.
SK Telecom plans to deploy the systems in its AI data center
SK Telecom plans to deploy these systems in its AI data center and connect this infrastructure with its proprietary foundation models, including A.X K2, and public-facing services, including those under Korea’s “AI for All” project. SK Telecom plans to connect its AI data center operations, proprietary foundation models and public-facing AI services to deliver full-stack sovereign AI. Rebellions’ R200 systems are expected to be ready for deployment in 2028.
