SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 17, 2026--

Coupang, a U.S.-based technology leader, announced at the NVIDIA AI Conference & Expo today that its collaboration with NVIDIA has helped Coupang create an “AI factory” which is accelerating new innovations across the company’s e-commerce logistics and delivery services.

The collaboration leverages the Coupang Intelligent Cloud (CIC) system, launched in July 2025, and NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD to create a self-service AI ecosystem that allows engineers and other data experts to test and build new models quickly across Coupang’s global organization, including engineering teams in Seattle and Mountain View, Calif.

Coupang is also supporting NVIDIA as a launch partner for Dynamo, the open source software for agentic inference that delivers unmatched scale, efficiency and speed.

Coupang currently uses AI models to predict everything from the most efficient way to stock fulfillment centers to optimizing delivery routes for customer orders. The use of CIC has helped accelerate these outputs. For example, AI models created with CIC have improved fulfillment center scheduling and bin packing significantly, with graphics processing unit (GPU) utilization increasing from 65% to 95%.

“Coupang's business is centered on fulfilling our 'Rocket Delivery’ promise to customers — providing them with an unprecedented combination of speed, selection and price,” said Ashish Suryavanshi, Coupang’s VP of Engineering, who spoke at the conference. “This promise requires constant evolution. By working with NVIDIA, Coupang’s engineers can build upon the advanced AI models and machine learning already powering our operations and unlock new levels of innovation for our company and our customers.”

Suryavanshi’s team created CIC with a simple philosophy: Provide a “paved road” for data scientists and machine learning engineers to test and launch their innovations. The AI factory consists of a self-service platform with three main layers. Developers interact with the top layer, which consists of a simple command line interface (CLI), application programming interface (API) and user interface (UI). Working within this structure, developers can focus on building models rather than grappling with infrastructure.

Since its founding in 2010, Coupang has invested billions of dollars into building its end-to-end technology and logistics infrastructure, which integrates AI, custom robotics and other cutting-edge technologies. With technology underpinning every aspect of its global business, Coupang provides unmatched delivery speed and service quality to customers in the U.S. and 190 countries and regions around the world.

In March 2026, Coupang was named to LexisNexis’s 2026 Top 100 list of global innovators for the second year in a row. According to LexisNexis, inclusion on the Top 100 list reflects the measurable improvement in Coupang’s patent portfolio over the past two years, and appearing on the list for two years in a row highlights the company's growing innovation momentum, including on AI and advanced technologies.

Coupang also earned second place on Fast Company’s list of the world’s most innovative companies in the Retail category in 2025.

MIAMI (AP) — After nearly getting eliminated in the group stage last week, the United States is playing Venezuela for the World Baseball Classic championship on Tuesday night in a game with political overtones.

Aaron Judge, Roman Anthony and Kyle Schwarber lead a U.S. lineup seeking to win the Americans' second title and first title since 2017.

“Putting U.S. on your chest and going out there and competing obviously means the world,” said Nolan McLean, a 24-year-old rookie pitcher who starts for the U.S. against Eduardo Rodríguez.

Venezuela, headed by All-Stars Ronald Acuña Jr., Maikel Garcia and Luis Arraez, seeks it first championship in the sixth edition of an event that launched in 2006. Miami and its suburbs have a large Venezuelan population, and the team has had a festive fan presence at loanDepot park.

“As Venezuelan players, we are playing for our country,” Garcia said after Monday night's 4-2 semifinal win over Italy. “And, of course, putting Latin America in a high position, showing that we have great baseball, we have great talent.”

Players and coaches avoided discussing the political turmoil between the U.S. and Venezuela, heightened since the U.S. military captured Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro in January.

“We’re here to speak baseball,” Acuña said. “Our country deserves the game tomorrow.”

U.S. President Donald Trump referenced Venezuela's tournament advancement in a social media post, writing: “Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?"

Venezuela upset three-time winner Japan 8-5 on Saturday to reach its first semifinal since losing to South Korea in 2009.

“This is the responsibility that I take to give joy to my country,” manager Omar López said. “It was the dream that I shared with everyone, to be in this situation.”

Mark DeRosa is managing the U.S. in the tournament for the second time after losing 3-2 to Japan in the 2023 final, a game that memorably ended with Shohei Ohtani striking out then-Angels teammate Mike Trout. The Americans beat the Dominican Republic 2-1 on Sunday on homers by Gunnar Henderson and Anthony to reach the championship.

“I feel like we haven’t played our complete game yet,” Henderson said.

This story was updated to correct that Venezuela beat Japan in the quarterfinals, not the semifinals.
