Upstage and Polaris Office Partner to Create World's First On-Device AI Document Software
Seoul, Feb. 29, 2024 – Upstage and Polaris Office, a global provider of office productivity software, announced a groundbreaking partnership to develop and commercialize the world's first on-device AI document software solution.
On-device AI technology empowers users by placing the power of large language models (LLMs) directly on edge devices, such as smartphones and computers. This eliminates the need for internet connectivity or reliance on external cloud servers, making it ideal for organizations with strict security protocols or limited internet access.
Upstage's cutting-edge LLM, Solar, is at the core of this new solution. Seamlessly integrated into Polaris Office's software suite, Solar provides users with real-time features like document translation, summarization, and high-quality text generation, significantly enhancing productivity and streamlining workflows.
This collaboration between two Seoul-based tech companies disrupts the dominance of major players like Microsoft and Google in the workplace software market. Upstage and Polaris Office are paving the way for a new era of on-device AI solutions, offering users greater privacy, security, and control over their data.
This partnership with Polaris Office, boasting over 128 million users worldwide, presents a significant step forward for Upstage's global expansion strategy. Building upon Upstage's recent success in integrating Solar with LG Electronics' LG Gram notebook, this collaboration further solidifies their leadership in on-device AI technology.
"We are thrilled to announce the world's first on-device AI document software solution," said Soon-il Kwon, Vice President and Head of AI Business at Upstage. "Upstage remains committed to expanding generative AI services and establishing a strong presence in the global market, leveraging the power of our world-class LLM capabilities."
