[Market Focus] Lindeman Asia Rises as PersonaAI Unveils High-Performance AI Without Internet or GPU... Investment History in Spotlight

Lindeman Asia is showing strong performance. This is believed to be influenced by news that PersonaAI has unveiled an ultra-lightweight artificial intelligence (AI) model that can operate without an internet connection or high-performance GPUs.

As of 9:26 a.m. on May 7, Lindeman Asia is trading at 5,360 won, up 3.28% from the previous day.

On this day, PersonaAI announced that it has successfully implemented “on-device AI” that operates independently on devices, based on its self-developed Korean language-specialized AI engine.

While most existing AI technologies rely on cloud servers and high-performance GPUs, PersonaAI has developed a lightweight AI model based on CPUs, enabling all functions to be performed even in environments without internet connectivity. The company explained that this technology allows AI to be utilized in locations where networks are unstable or security is critical, such as airplanes, military facilities, and financial institutions.

This technology processes all computations within the device itself, resulting in faster response speeds. Because there is no need to transmit data externally, it also offers advantages in terms of security and privacy protection. As a result, it can be applied to fields that require real-time response and high levels of security, such as smart homes, autonomous vehicles, and robotics.

The foundation of this technology is PersonaAI’s proprietary Korean language-specialized AI engine. Developed over seven years with more than 50 AI experts and 15 billion won invested in research and development, this engine integrates a variety of functions?including language generation, image generation, translation, and summarization?into a single software package.

It can be installed on various devices such as smartphones, laptops, and home appliances, and AI functions can be used like a personal assistant even without internet connectivity.

PersonaAI has so far attracted cumulative investments totaling approximately 30 billion won, and is currently working with domestic and international device manufacturers on a range of on-device AI integration projects. The company is also preparing for entry into the global market and an IPO in the future.

Meanwhile, Lindeman Investment is known to have previously invested in PersonaAI.
