,
, ‘AI startup Upstage launched Solar Pro via AWS on this day. Solar Pro is a model with about 22 billion parameters, more than doubling the number in the existing model ‘Solar Mini’ (10.7 billion) and improving performance by more than 50%. Equipped with excellent context understanding and reasoning abilities based on specialized knowledge in various industries such as finance, law, and healthcare, it can handle complex tasks with high accuracy when trained on a company’s data. Upstage CEO Kim Sung-hoon said, “Solar Pro can be deployed in various industries such as finance, law, and healthcare to maximize work automation, efficiency, and productivity. With the combination of AWS scalability and Upstage’s technology, many companies will be able to easily adopt the latest AI technologies.”’,
,
, ‘The preview version of Solar Pro, released as open source in September this year, demonstrated excellent performance in global LLM evaluations such as the Hugging Face’s “Open LLM Leaderboard” and the “EQ Benchmark Leaderboard” for assessing emotional intelligence. According to an investigation by US fine-tuning specialist company Predibase, it ranked first in fine-tuning performance, surpassing big tech models. Park Eun-jung, Co-founder, Head of the North American Division, and CPO, remarked, “Among models that fit into a single GPU, it shows the best performance for Korean, and it’s showing overwhelming performance in focused domains.” Park also noted, “Solar Pro’s understanding ability of HTML approaches the level of GPT-4, and it is cost-effective, being about one-fifth to one-seventh the price of similar-sized models.”’,

, ‘To develop Solar Pro, Upstage utilized the AI model development and deployment service ‘Amazon SageMaker’ significantly reducing model training time. They also advanced their proprietary modeling methodologies such as ‘DUS (Depth Expansion Scale)’ technology and data preprocessing to minimize the model’s weight, making it operable with a single GPU. CTO Lee stated, “Internally, we assess that development efficiency improved roughly tenfold after using SageMaker,” expressing that they are closely collaborating.’,
,
, ‘Solar Pro is available in the ‘Amazon Bedrock Marketplace,’ which hosts over 100 LLMs worldwide. Users can integrate Solar Pro with Amazon Bedrock’s unified application programming interface (API) and utilize tools like Guardrails and Agents to build generative AI solutions. It also supports built-in security and privacy features. After finding the desired model, users can select the infrastructure that matches their scaling requirements and easily deploy it on AWS through fully managed endpoints. Solar Pro is also being launched in AWS’s machine learning hub ‘Amazon SageMaker JumpStart’ and ‘AWS Marketplace,’ offering foundation models. Noh Kyung-sil, Head of Upstage’s US Business, said, “By entering AWS Bedrock, which most companies seek, we can expand our contacts and enhance our recognition,” asserting plans to expand globally through a partnership with AWS.’,
,
, ‘Upstage plans to accelerate its global market strategy by introducing additional AI models and new solutions. Park, the legal representative, stated, “We are developing ‘Solar Mini 2’ (tentative name) and anticipate launching it early next year, aiming to make the complete product ‘SolarBox’ available around the same time.” They added, “With a strong lineup including the document parsing solution ‘Document Parse’, Solar Pro, and SolarBox, we aim to demonstrate the potential to succeed in the enterprise market.”‘,
