Ubitus Joins Partnership with Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic to Build Asia's First Quantum-GPU Hybrid Research Platform
Ubitus K.K., a global leader in AI and cloud streaming, announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) led by Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic to establish Asia's first hybrid research platform integrating quantum computing. Bringing together leading technology partners from South Korea, France, Canada, and Japan, the project aims to accelerate the real-world application of high-performance hybrid computing powered by quantum systems and NVIDIA B200 GPUs.
Global Partnership to Advance Hybrid Quantum-AI Infrastructure
Led by Yonsei University and Trident Zoetic, the initiative brings together Pasqal (France), D-Wave (Canada), and Ubitus (Japan), with institutional support from the Incheon Metropolitan City and Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ). The facility will be based at Yonsei's International Campus and aims to accelerate scientific breakthroughs in drug discovery, biotechnology, and advanced materials. Yonsei contributes its academic expertise and infrastructure, while Trident Zoetic serves as project lead and investor, coordinating a global research network.
Quantum and GPU: Complementary Technologies for Future Science
The platform will integrate three quantum computing systems—the IBM 127-qubit superconducting quantum computer, Pasqal's neutral atom platform, and D-Wave's quantum annealing system—alongside a high-performance GPU cluster, forming a unified hybrid computing environment. Quantum systems excel at combinatorial optimization and complex simulations, while GPUs deliver scalable performance for deep learning and AI inference. Together, these complementary technologies enhance algorithmic efficiency and accelerate the path from academic research to real-world applications.
Ubitus Delivers AI Infrastructure and Hybrid Orchestration
Ubitus will supply and integrate a 512-node, 4,096-GPU NVIDIA B200 cluster, delivering the platform's core AI computing power. The system will operate under a GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) model and support hybrid orchestration between AI and quantum workloads for use cases such as quantum-enhanced learning, drug modeling, and materials simulation. Ubitus will also manage deployment, architecture, and long-term operations.
Strategic Milestone for East Asia's Quantum-AI Ecosystem
This collaboration represents a critical step toward hybrid quantum computing in East Asia, bridging the performance of quantum processors with the flexibility of GPU infrastructure. It underscores the region's growing leadership in next-generation computing.
' This partnership reflects our commitment to next-generation infrastructure,' said Wesley Kuo, CEO of Ubitus. 'We are proud to support the foundation of a new hybrid computing ecosystem that will drive scientific and industrial innovation across Asia.'

Chip startup Oxmiq launches GPU tech for license
By Max A. Cherney SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Oxmiq Labs said on Tuesday that it planned to launch licensable graphics processor tech geared for artificial intelligence data crunching. Founded by Intel's former chief architect, Raja Koduri, Oxmiq said that it has raised $20 million in seed capital to help launch the new GPU intellectual property. The funding round includes investments from angel investors, and corporate strategic investors, including MediaTek, Oxmiq said. The company did not disclose its valuation. Oxmiq's GPU technology is capable of scaling from a single core for physical AI applications such as robotics, to thousands of cores that would be useful in a cloud computing company's data center. The company said it can customize the GPU architecture for specific types of computing. "We want to be Arm for the next generation," Koduri told Reuters. The Campbell, California-based company said it was taking a software-first approach to constructing its chip designs and has built a tool to allow software programs written for Nvidia's CUDA to work on non-Nvidia hardware "without code modification of recompilation." The company said it opted to pursue building intellectual property instead of a complete chip design because it would avoid the high costs. A cutting-edge chip can cost more than $500 million to design. At Intel, Koduri oversaw the development of the company's graphics chips. Koduri has held senior positions at Advanced Micro Devices and Apple.
