Nvidia’s Inference Pivot Reaches Rebellions in Korea

Nvidia is reportedly in talks with Korean inference upstart Rebellions about a technical partnership, investment, or acquisition.

AI training kingpin Nvidia is reportedly making another foray into inference silicon after engaging Groq in an unconventional deal that secured Nvidia a nonexclusive technology license while absorbing most of its engineering talent. According to Bloomberg, Nvidia is in early discussions with the Korean inference upstart Rebellions for a technical partnership, an investment, or perhaps even an acquisition.

Like Groq, Rebellions’ chips specialize in memory-centric inference; its compute chiplets carry significant on-chip SRAM to handle the memory-intensive decode stage, while prefill runs elsewhere. That draws a comparison to Groq’s SRAM-based LPU model, which Nvidia acquired for $20 billion in late 2025.
