Fujitsu Research News Update - July 2024

Providing generative AI for enterprises - announcing new Fujitsu and Cohere collaboration

Our headline news this month is an exciting new strategic partnership with Cohere Inc., a security and data privacy-focused enterprise AI company headquartered in Toronto and San Francisco.

Together, we will focus on developing and providing large language model (LLM) that enables enterprises to leverage industry-leading Japanese language capabilities that deliver improved experiences for customers and employees.

The two companies will jointly develop Takane (tentative name), an advanced Japanese language model based on Cohere’s frontier enterprise-grade LLM.

Fujitsu has also made a significant investment and will become the exclusive provider of jointly developed services on the global market. We plan to provide the jointly developed AI technology to customers through Fujitsu Data Intelligence PaaS, a cloud-based all-in-one operation platform, and Fujitsu Uvance, a cross-industry business model to solve social issues, with the AI model available through Fujitsu Kozuchi from September.

Focusing on Agent-based Modelling (ABM) at PAAMS International Conference in Salamanca

Considered one of the world’s top events on agent systems, the 22nd International Conference on Practical applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS) was recently staged in Salamanca, as part of the Salamanca Tech Summit 2024.

Fujitsu Research of Europe’s Sedar Olmez, PhD supported by Max Smilovitskiy presented a well-received technical paper on our cutting edge Social Digital Twin technology research, looking at “Overcoming Computational Complexity: A Scalable Agent-Based Model of Traffic Activity using FLAME-GPU”.

New Technology Spotlight

Democratizing the use of AI with FUJITSU-MONAKA

Fujitsu and Arm, a global leader in semiconductor design and silicon IP development, are focused on open collaboration with the international community for human-centered technological development and are working towards building easy-to-deploy solutions for diverse domains across the globe.

With the escalating need for power-efficient systems, FUJITSU-MONAKA in collaboration with Arm is aligned to enable the next-generation AI application development ecosystem through high-end energy efficient compute. The R&D efforts are focused towards enhancing various AI/Machine Learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) frameworks for Armv9-A architecture and Scalable Vector Extension 2 (SVE2) platforms. SVE2 emerges as a formidable solution for handling AI and HPC workloads by bringing significant speed improvements.

Find out how Fujitsu and Arm are shaping AI's tomorrow in pursuit of energy efficiency.

Introducing CoGS (Controllable Gaussian Splatting): A game-changer for 3D reanimation?

Our very own researcher, Koichiro Niinuma, collaborated with Dr. Laszlo A. Jeni of the Extended Reality Technology Center to present this groundbreaking research at hashtag#CVPR2024 in June! Together, they are pioneering a revolutionary method known as Controllable Gaussian Splatting (hashtag#CoGS) which resulted in a method capable of achieving 3D reconstruction accuracy previously unattainable with single-camera setups.
