Lesser Meets LG Exaone... Partnership to Optimize Enterprise AI Transformation

Lesser, a company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) transformation, announced on June 13 that it has entered into a strategic partnership with LG AI Research to conduct enterprise-specific AI proof-of-concept projects based on the large-scale AI model "Exaone." The combination of LG AI Research's advanced large-scale AI technology and Lesser's expertise in on-site implementation and operational know-how is expected to create significant business synergy.

Exaone is a proprietary model developed in-house by LG AI Research. It can operate in closed network environments, allowing integration into internal systems without concerns about sensitive information leakage. This makes it suitable for high-security industries such as finance, public sector, and manufacturing.

Through this collaboration, Lesser plans to implement Exaone in a form optimized for corporate work environments and to manage ongoing operations by linking it with its own AI operations management platform, "StayX." Leveraging its experience from over 250 AI projects across various industries, Lesser aims to go beyond simply providing technology and to support the entire process so that companies can achieve tangible business results.

In particular, this partnership is designed to establish a continuous collaboration system that can flexibly respond to technological changes. The companies intend to take a long-term approach to ensure that enterprises can consistently benefit from the latest advancements in AI technology in a rapidly evolving environment.

Lesser plans to expand Exaone-based AI proof-of-concept projects, focusing on the finance, manufacturing, distribution, and public sectors. The company will emphasize moving beyond the proof-of-concept stage to generate real business value and establish systematic governance.

Bae Kyunghoon, President of LG AI Research, stated, "Through this partnership, we expect to expand AI adoption cases in the workplace and generate long-term business value." Shim Kyuhyun, CEO of Lesser, said, "We aim to be a partner that enables companies not only to adopt AI, but also to continuously create value and achieve growth."
