The ai& team launched a new website claiming to be Japan's biggest dedicated AI inference platform.
- Positioning: "Frontier models, served from Japan" — cheaper, faster inference plus post-training customization.
- Three business lines: LLM inference, fast text/photo-to-video generation, and JapanFold for protein structure exploration in drug discovery.
- Infrastructure: self-owned data centers in Japan with 100MW+ capacity of NVIDIA, AMD, Tenstorrent, and Rebellions chips in the works.
- Also released TermGrade: 1k graded terminal environments and all 36,144 trajectories (including 14,234 failures) open-sourced for RL training, yielding +3.1 on Terminal-Bench 2.1.
