Lablup signs first Continuum Suite deal with Shinhan DS
Lablup will supply its AI model management software to Shinhan DS, the first supply contract since Continuum Suite's commercial release.
Lablup has signed a contract with Shinhan DS to supply its Continuum Suite AI model management software, the company announced on October 23, 2026. It is the first supply deal for Continuum Suite since the product's commercial release.
Under the agreement, Lablup takes responsibility for the API software portion of a GPU management and API adoption project at Shinhan DS. Continuum Suite integrates and manages the APIs of multiple large language models.
The product is built on two components. Continuum Router distributes requests among AI models and switches automatically to another route if one fails, while Continuum Hub centrally manages API key issuance, token usage and cost settlement.
Lablup said the solution includes security features designed for the network separation environment used by financial institutions, allowing API keys to be issued and usage to be aggregated by organization and user. Individual AI services can keep running even if the central management system fails.
Commercial push and listing plans
Lablup first unveiled Continuum at NVIDIA GTC 2025 in March 2025 and has since pursued commercialization centered on the finance and healthcare sectors, according to digitaltoday.co.kr. The company held a public subscription for general investors from October 22 to 23, 2026, and plans to list on the KOSDAQ market on November 3, with NH Investment & Securities as lead underwriter.
