Samsung Gauss
“Famous name, but off-limits outside the company” — an advisor you can meet only with an employee badge
What is Samsung Gauss?
Samsung Gauss is a generative AI model developed in-house by Samsung Electronics. The second generation, Samsung Gauss2, handles language, code, and images together and is being rolled out in stages across internal operations and products.
- 1Samsung’s own in-house generative AI
- 2Three tiers: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme
- 3It is internal only, with no external sign-up

What sets it apart
These are the differences we found by running the same material through several tools in our training sessions.
A model built for internal use
A proprietary model that Samsung Electronics unveiled on its official newsroom. Samsung says it is applied in code.i, which helps in-house software developers, and in the Samsung Gauss Portal, which helps with document summarization, translation, and email writing. It is a model the company owns, not a tool bought from outside, and that changes the nature of any adoption discussion.
Three versions, one for each purpose
According to the official announcement, the lineup splits into Compact, for limited computing environments; Balanced, which is cloud-based; and Supreme, which uses mixture-of-experts technology. Keeping separate on-device and server-based models is a framework worth borrowing when your own company chooses models.
Handles language and code together
The official announcement describes Samsung Gauss2 as a multimodal model that handles language, code, and images together, supporting 9 to 14 languages and multiple programming languages depending on the model. It also explained that a proprietary tokenizer was designed to improve efficiency across supported languages.
⚖️ The weaknesses are clear, too
There is no way for outsiders to sign up and try it. It is offered to employees only, and neither pricing nor a trial version is public. Its name comes up first in training sessions, yet you can’t use it yourself, so treat it as a case study, not a practice exercise.
💡 In plain EnglishThink of a librarian who works only in the company library: always on hand for employees, but rarely seen by anyone outside.
It is the first example people cite when asked whether a company should have its own model. Seeing the choices others have made helps you work out what to build in-house and what to buy.
Same job, different approach
Employees are pasting internal documents into external AI services to summarize them
The old way
- Opening an outside service in a separate window every time you need a summary
- Employees hesitate every time over what they may paste in
- Each department uses different tools, so results vary
- Security review never finishes, so it never becomes official
With Samsung Gauss
- Offer the company’s own model through an internal portal
- Set an internal policy on what may be entered
- Separate services for developers and office work
- How it is used is recorded inside the company
Common uses
Use as a case in discussions about building your own model
When executives ask about building a proprietary model, point to the official announcement. A single article explains what was built and what was bought in.
Reference for designing internal AI services
Map the split between developer and office-work versions onto your own company’s plan. Separate tools by use case is more realistic than a single all-purpose entry point.
Explaining on-device versus cloud AI
A good example for explaining how models that run on a device differ from models that run on a server. The name is familiar, so audiences pick it up right away.
Who it’s for
Best for
- ✓Large-enterprise planning teams evaluating an in-house model
- ✓IT managers designing an internal AI service
- ✓Instructors who cover Korean corporate AI cases in training
Better served by other tools
- –Anyone looking for an AI tool to use today
- –Anyone who wants to test performance with a free trial
- –Anyone who needs to compare pricing and write an approval document
Can we use it at work?
The questions that adoption leads and security teams ask first.
Please note: we could not confirm whether any new-generation model after Samsung Gauss2 has been officially announced. Nor has it been disclosed, feature by feature, which Galaxy device features run on this model.
10-minute quick start
- 1
Start by reading the Samsung Gauss2 announcement on the Samsung Electronics Newsroom. It lays out the model lineup and internal use cases in the company’s own words.
- 2
Browse the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) Korea session list for talks on Code.i. They show most concretely how it is used internally.
- 3
Since you can’t try it yourself, run the same task on publicly available Korean models such as EXAONE or Mi:dm and compare.
- 4
Summarize the criteria for deciding whether your company needs its own model (data location, cost, owner) in a table and attach it to the approval document.
Copy-and-paste prompts
Replace only the [bracketed] parts, then paste it in.
You cannot enter this prompt into Samsung Gauss directly. Use it in a tool such as Claude or Gemini. Outline a review report on whether our company should build its own AI model or buy an external one. Items: [where data is stored], [annual cost], [staff in charge], [how to roll back if it fails]. For each item, also list the questions we must confirm.
Use this prompt by pasting it into another tool to get a draft. We are a company with [800] employees building an internal AI service. Design it separately for developers and office staff, and prioritize which features to open first for each. Also list the features that should not be opened first, and explain why.
A prompt to paste into another tool when you create training materials. Write a 5-minute script explaining the difference between on-device AI and server-based AI to [non-technical office workers]. Compare the pros and cons of each across three dimensions: cost, speed, and security. Use just one analogy.
Draft with another tool, then have Legal review it. Write a draft policy for employees using an internal-only AI. Use a table to separate what may be entered from what must not be entered, and describe the procedure if someone violates it. Leave the company name blank as [Company Name].
A prompt for pasting an official article into another tool. From the article below, extract only the verifiable facts and create a one-page summary for executive reporting. Do not add anything that is not in the article, and mark which points the company itself stated and which are the reporter’s interpretation. [Paste article text]
Using it with other tools
Linking two or three tools changes your work more than any single tool does.
Reading the official announcement → review report
Case collection → course materials
Before you start
- “Using AI made by Samsung” usually refers to features on Galaxy devices. Don’t mix up the model name with device feature names.
- It is not a publicly available model, so do not fill in numbers in a performance comparison table. We have not measured any values ourselves.
- If you copy internal usage figures from a company announcement as they are, the numbers may be out of date by the time you use them.
- There is no way to inquire about adopting it. Don’t plan around a partnership or purchase.
Pricing
This is an internal service for Samsung Electronics employees only. It has no public sign-up, and no paid product is available to outside buyers.
Please check this tool’s pricing directly on the official page. We do not list amounts we have not verified.
Samsung Gauss limitations
We don’t just list the positives. Here is what fell short when we used it.
- You can’t try it yourself
It is the first model people name in a training session, yet there is nothing to show participants on screen. Explanations always end with a news quote, which leaves both the audience and the presenter unsatisfied.
- Updates are infrequent
Official announcements come only when a new generation is released, so you can’t see what changes in between. Once you build materials, you have to keep re-checking that they are still accurate.
- Product features and model names get confused
Galaxy’s AI features and this model’s name often get mixed up. The company has not said which feature runs on what, so when someone asks, you cannot give a definite answer.
