Clevi, the ‘game-changer’ in the AI industry, develops ‘Ivy’, a platform powered by ultra-large generative AI
Clevi Co., Ltd. (Clevi), a start-up that has emerged as a game-changer in Korea’s AI industry, has proven that Korea can also develop AI using its own technological capabilities.
It has begun the open beta service for ‘Ivy’, an ultra-large generative AI developed in-house using LLM (large language model) technology. Until now, Korea had failed to achieve notable results in the AI market, which had been dominated by US-based Open AI and China-based DeepSeek.
However, Clevi’s official launch of its own ultra-large generative AI, ‘Ivy’, using LLM (large language model) technology has led to recognition that Korea, too, has the capability to develop AI using its own technological expertise.
As a high-performance, low-cost model, Ivy delivers outstanding effectiveness and performance, with reasoning, specialised agent capabilities and a high instruction-following rate. With powerful features including △real-time learning and adaptation △multi-data processing △code interpreter △expert model generation △agent support system, it can be used across a wide range of fields, from individual users to enterprises.
Clevi CEO Lee Hwan-ho said, “The development cost for this model was approximately KRW 1.5 billion, while operating costs average around KRW 10 million per month,” adding, “We expect this to provide a breakthrough solution to the AI cost challenges that businesses are concerned about.” He further emphasised, “As the ‘Ivy’ model offers high efficiency and high performance, it can resolve the issue often identified as a drawback of generative AI: ‘PoC is easy, but Complete is not.’”
To minimise AI development costs, Clevi introduced innovative technology that applies automated, container-based learning-node deployment technology to manage the development process efficiently.
What is particularly noteworthy is that Ivy achieved high scores in various benchmark tests against Open AI and DeepSeek (△AIME 2024: 81% △MATH-500: 98.6 △SWE-BENCH: 51.1 △MMLU: 91.2).
Meanwhile, as the use of AI Assistant expands and concerns about personal information leaks and security grow, CLEVI has made the Ivy app available as a platform that allows users to sign up with only the minimum personal information. Public institutions and businesses can install it on-premises to suit their user environment, and it is regarded as having resolved security issues.
Ivy can be downloaded and used from the Google Play Store, corporate websites and the Ivy download page.
