Public prices involving KAIST
- Agent verification content bought by Korea's science ministry (MSIT) and the National Information Society Agency (NIA): difficulty-graded multi-step scenarios that need MCP tools and external APIs, Korean service context with dynamic data, and more than 7,000 verification dataset items, built by a consortium of SureSoft Tech (lead), Crowdworks, KAIST and the Korea AI Industry Association (single-year project, 'AI agent safety and reliability verification system support')
A state buyer paying a testing-and-data consortium for agent test scenarios and a labelled test set, which is evaluation content rather than runnable environments. It is the first award in this cell whose count is public (7,000 or more items), so it turns a contract total into an upper bound per item; the NIA tender notice itself was not found, so this rests on three Korean news reports.
about KRW 1.8 billion (약 18억원)per project (single year, whole consortium)
- Video highlight and description AI training data (AI-Hub data 41), Korea's 2021 AI training data programme, KAIST consortium with KBS: 6,001 source hours of KBS broadcast video (1,001 hours) and YouTube video (5,000 hours), labelled into 18,123 processed hours
The science ministry and NIA fund a KAIST consortium (KBS, Metrix Research, Sorizava, DataMaker, ActionPower and others) to build, label and release the set free on AI-Hub, so this prices collection, labelling and model work together and is an upper bound for the footage alone; it is a planned figure that includes private money. News-led by name, but KBS supplied 1,001 of the 6,001 source hours and YouTube the other 5,000, so it is not filed as news footage. The hours are AI-Hub's record of the delivered set (6,001 source hours, 18,123 processed hours): https://www.aihub.or.kr/aihubdata/data/view.do?currMenu=115&topMenu=100&dataSetSn=616
KRW 4.2 billion (42억 원, programme budget plus the consortium's private investment)per project of 6,001 source hours of video
