[Samsung SDS Launches NPUaaS Based on FuriosaAI Renegade] Odaily Planet Daily News - On the 20th, Samsung SDS announced the launch of a Neural Processing Unit as a Service (NPUaaS) based on FuriosaAI's second-generation neural network processor, Renegade (RGND), on the Samsung Cloud Platform (SCP). Renegade is a Korea-developed NPU designed for AI inference, used in tasks such as generating responses from trained AI models, document analysis, and image recognition. Samsung SDS stated that NPUaaS customers do not need to directly purchase NPU servers or build their own data centers; instead, they can use the service on a subscription basis through SCP. Enterprises can choose 1, 2, 4, or 8 NPUs based on their needs and data scale, and integrate them with SCP's high-performance storage, computing, and high-speed network products. Samsung SDS also mentioned that the NPUaaS will be provided within SCP's sovereign cloud environment to support public sector clients subject to strict security regulations. Lee Ho-jun, head of Samsung SDS's Cloud Services Division, stated that the company will continue to expand its product portfolio based on SCP.
