Legaltech corporations Law&Company said on the 19th that, as part of the Upstage consortium, it passed the second round of the Ministry of Science and ICT-led "independent artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model" project.
Law&Company, the only one among legaltech corporations to join the national elite AI team, is in charge of utilizing and spreading the AI model within the Upstage consortium. The three consortia that advanced to the third stage are Upstage, SK Telecom, and LG AI Research Institute.
The Upstage consortium's "Solar Open 2" has a context window—the amount of information it can process at once—of up to 1 million tokens. It is large enough to handle the contents of hundreds of pages of documents.
Law&Company took charge of building law-specialized training and evaluation datasets in the first stage. In the second stage, it supported improving model performance by advancing the legal data evaluation system.
Work is also underway to apply the developed model to its own services. Law&Company installed the Solar Open model in the on-premises product of its legal AI service "Superlawyer" for corporations. At the "Solar Open Weight Day" held in Jul., it demonstrated an on-premises version of Superlawyer based on Solar Open 2.
Law&Company CEO Kim Bon-hwan said, "Along with advancing model performance, we will do our best to contribute to strengthening national AI competitiveness by accelerating the spread of the legal AI ecosystem through real service applications."
