LG Unveils Upgraded AI Model Exaone 3.5

Seoul: LG AI Research, the artificial intelligence lab under South Korea's LG Group, on Monday unveiled an upgraded version of its giant, multimodal AI model Exaone, offering enhanced performance and cost efficiency for its users.

To support the AI ecosystem, all three models of the latest Exaone 3.5 will be released as open source, enabling their use for various research purposes, according to LG AI Research.

This release comes just four months after the only lightweight model of its predecessor, Exaone 3.0, was made available as open source, reports Yonhap news agency.

To minimise the risk of generating plausible but incorrect answers and increase the accuracy and reliability of answers, the Exaone 3.5 features advanced technologies that generate answers using real-time web search results or uploaded documents.
