Clabi

Clabi is a South Korean startup specializing in generative artificial intelligence and cloud managed services. The company was founded in July 2022 by its current CEO, Ahn In-gu, and its name is an amalgamation of the words Cloud, AI, Big Data, and Intelligence. Ahn has an extensive background in the IT industry, having worked at organizations like the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and holding leadership roles at Plantynet, Susan INT, and Weaversystems, where he successfully led two IPOs. This experience shaped his vision for Clabi, which aims to facilitate digital and AI transformation for other businesses.

Clabi operates as a Cloud Managed Service Provider (MSP), primarily for Naver Cloud, and has achieved the highest partnership level (Premium) in the shortest time among all partners. The company received a strategic investment from Naver Cloud to enhance technological cooperation, particularly around Naver's HyperCLOVA X large language model. Clabi's business model focuses on providing one-stop services for generative AI, from consulting to the development of specialized models and chatbot services. The company serves a diverse client base across public, educational, enterprise, financial, and retail sectors, with over 60 public and private organizations utilizing its services. Revenue is generated through these consulting services, cloud migration, managed operations, and subscription-based AI models which lower the entry barrier for businesses.

Clabi has developed a suite of proprietary solutions, including 'Clario,' a generative AI chatbot assistant, and 'Clario-EVA,' an AI evaluation tool. They also offer cloud management platform (CMP) solutions like 'Cla-max' and 'Cla-bill'. The firm provides services for building and operating both Large Language Models (LLMs) and smaller, more cost-effective Small Language Models (sLLMs), reducing expenses for clients by up to 80% compared to traditional LLMs. In under two years, the company reached a revenue of 10 billion KRW (approximately 7.2 million USD) and has set a goal of 25 billion KRW for 2025, with plans for an IPO by 2028.
