With Exaone 4.0, LG joins global tech firms like Anthropic and Alibaba Group Holding, which have introduced reasoning models such as Claude 3.7 and Qwen3, respectively. OpenAI chief executive officer Sam Altman said in April his company plans to release GPT-5 in a few months.
LG Group is rolling out a new version of its flagship artificial intelligence (AI) model, billing it as South Korea’s first hybrid-reasoning AI system.
