- A co-playable character (CPC) for games developed in collaboration with NVIDIA (NASDAQ:)
- KRAFTON brings NVIDIA ACE to the PUBG IP franchise and inZOI
LAS VEGAS–( BUSINESS WIRE )–KRAFTON (CEO Changhan ˜CH’ Kim) unveiled an agent framework in collaboration with NVIDIA at the world’s largest IT exhibition, CES 2025, held in Las Vegas.
This collaboration combines the strengths of KRAFTON, known for its exceptional expertise in game development, with cutting-edge AI technology from NVIDIA. KRAFTON has unveiled an AI innovation for gaming that is poised to redefine the future of the global gaming industry.
CPC is an AI companion that can interact with players, enabled by SLM (NASDAQ:) (Small Language Model) on a gaming device, built with NVIDIA ACE technology. Unlike traditional NPCs (non-player characters), CPCs are equipped with the ability to interact and cooperate with users, as they understand and react to game situations in a human way.
KRAFTON plans to expand the use of CPC technology across its gaming portfolio, including the PUBG IP franchise and inZOI, to transform the user experience.
CH Kim, CEO of KRAFTON said, CES 2025 marks a significant milestone for KRAFTON as we work to discover AI technology that will revolutionize the gaming industry. He continued, we plan to work closely with NVIDIA to drive the transformation of the user experience with AI-based innovation built with NVIDIA ACE, such as CPC, which is poised to redefine the future of gaming.
Keita Iida, Vice President, Developer Relations at NVIDIA, said AI is changing the way games are created and played. By introducing our innovative AI technology, such as NVIDIA ACE, to its range of live games, KRAFTON unlocks characters that can be played together for new, unique experiences.
Since establishing its deep learning division in 2022, KRAFTON has provided various core AI technologies such as LM/NLP (Natural Language Processing), 3D Vision and Animation, Speech Synthesis (STT/TTS), RL (Reinforcement Learning) and multimodal learning. In addition, KRAFTON has demonstrated the company’s R&D competitiveness by presenting several papers at international artificial intelligence conferences, including NeurIPS (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems), ICML (International Conference on Machine Learning) and ICLR (International Conference on Learning Representations).
