SKD WIREMostly True
Naver is operating an AI-dedicated data center initiative known as the "Naver AI Factory," and Nvidia is among its investors, according to the claim under examination, which has been judged largely accurate.
The "Naver AI Factory" is the name given to Naver's AI computing infrastructure project, which centers on a large-scale data center purpose-built for developing and running AI services, including large language models (LLM). The facility is positioned as the computational backbone for Naver's AI business, supporting model training and service deployment at scale.
Nvidia, the US GPU maker, is an investor in the AI Factory initiative. The involvement of the company that supplies the bulk of the world's AI accelerator hardware ties Naver's infrastructure project directly to the leading vendor of chips used for LLM training and inference.
The claim that Naver operates an AI Factory and that Nvidia has invested in it is consistent with the available record: the project exists under that name, and Nvidia's participation as an investor is accurate. No material element of the claim was found to be false, though the phrase "Naver AI Factory" functions as a branding for the initiative rather than a discrete corporate entity, a nuance the short claim does not capture.
The claim that Nvidia is an investor in Naver's AI Factory is therefore Mostly True.
