As reported on October 6, South Korea's government plans to put 4.7 trillion won (about $3.49 billion) into equity investments backing homegrown frontier AI models, aiming to match China's leading open models. The money sits in the proposed 2027 budget and still needs parliamentary approval, so it is a proposal, not a settled commitment. A second funding path would support domestic use of Korean models.
