Ubitus Donates GPU Server to National Central University to Advance Taiwan’s Sovereign AI Development, Building on Its Experience in Local AI Applications with TAIDE

Industry–academia collaboration strengthens AI computing resources for research, accelerating local-language AI innovation and talent development

Global cloud streaming and artificial intelligence technology provider Ubitus announced the donation of a GPU server to the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Central University (NCU) during an AI Server Donation Ceremony held on November 12, 2026.

The server will be utilized by the Intelligent Information Service and Retrieval (IISR) Laboratory, led by Professor Tsung-Han Tsai, to support research in AI-powered Mandarin Chinese education, large language model evaluation, and Taiwanese language technologies. Ubitus CEO Wesley Kuo represented the company at the donation ceremony, while Professor Po-Lei Lee, Dean of the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; Professor Wei-Jen Wang, Chair of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering; and Professor Tsung-Han Tsai accepted the donation on behalf of NCU.

Computing Power: A Critical Challenge for Academic AI Research

Generative AI research and applications require substantial computing resources. Compared with major international technology companies, academic institutions in Taiwan have long faced limitations in computing capacity for model training and evaluation. As a result, many research projects are restricted to smaller-scale experiments and less frequent testing, making comprehensive validation challenging.

By bringing industry-grade computing infrastructure directly into an academic research environment, this donation represents a concrete example of resource integration between industry and academia.

Ubitus has extensive experience in GPU virtualization, cloud computing, and AI computing infrastructure, with its core technologies expanding into large language models and generative AI applications. The company previously collaborated with National University of Tainan and other partners to develop “Tai-Ying-Hui,” an AI virtual human for Taiwanese–English bilingual learning, integrating the TAIDE (Trustworthy AI Dialogue Engine) large language model with AI virtual human technology to promote local-language education and cultural preservation.

Through this donation, Ubitus aims to connect industry computing resources with academic research needs, supporting technological exploration and innovative experimentation while providing students with greater opportunities to gain hands-on experience with AI computing technologies. The initiative also contributes to Taiwan’s sovereign AI development and the cultivation of future AI talent.

Supporting Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese Language AI Research

Professor Tsung-Han Tsai of NCU’s Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering noted that generative AI research relies heavily on computing power, with substantial resources required for everything from model training to repeated testing. Due to hardware limitations, academic institutions in Taiwan are often restricted to small-scale experiments. The additional computing resources provided through this donation will help overcome research bottlenecks and accelerate technology validation and practical applications.

One key research area focuses on AI-assisted Mandarin Chinese education. Using the Taiwan Benchmarks for the Chinese Language (TBCL) as a framework, the research team is developing AI technologies capable of automatically generating leveled learning materials and assessments based on learners’ proficiency.

The primary challenge is not simply enabling AI to produce fluent text, but teaching models to recognize vocabulary that exceeds a learner’s proficiency level. Repeated training and refinement are essential to improving the appropriateness of educational materials.

In addition, the team is developing a large language model evaluation dataset covering Taiwan-specific knowledge and language-use contexts. By systematically comparing the performance of different AI models, the research aims to provide valuable references for the development of Taiwan’s independently developed language models.

Another research focus involves Taiwanese speech recognition, speech synthesis, and multimodal applications. Through international collaboration, the team is establishing evaluation benchmarks for different writing systems, opening new opportunities for the digital preservation of local languages.

Bridging the Gap Between Academia and Industry Through AI Talent Development

The donated server will be deployed at Professor Tsung-Han Tsai’s IISR Laboratory, providing researchers and students with access to more advanced AI computing environments for model training, evaluation, and related technical research.

Wesley Kuo, CEO of Ubitus, stated: “The development of sovereign AI requires not only computing infrastructure but also sustained investment in local-language technologies and talent. Through this GPU server donation, Ubitus hopes to support National Central University’s research in Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese language AI, further strengthen industry–academia collaboration, and jointly advance Taiwan’s independent AI innovation and talent development.”

Looking ahead, Ubitus will continue leveraging its strengths in AI computing infrastructure and generative AI technologies, combining academic research capabilities with industry experience to support local AI innovation and talent development. Through these efforts, the company aims to contribute to a self-reliant AI innovation ecosystem that reflects Taiwan’s unique local characteristics.
