The companies will develop innovative Japanese LLM for private
cloud usage through Fujitsu Kozuchi AI services
KAWASAKI, Japan, July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Fujitsu announced a
strategic partnership with Cohere Inc., a security and data
privacy-focused enterprise AI company headquartered in Toronto and San
Francisco. The strategic partnership will focus on
developing and providing large language model (LLM) that will enable enterprises to leverage
industry-leading Japanese language capabilities that deliver
improved experiences for customers and employees.
In addition, Fujitsu has made a significant investment and
entered into a strategic partnership between the two companies. As
part of the partnership, Fujitsu will become the exclusive provider
of jointly developed services on the global market. Fujitsu plans
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.
Additionally, the two companies will jointly develop Takane
(tentative name), an advanced Japanese language model based on
Cohere's frontier enterprise-grade LLM. Fujitsu plans to start
providing the AI model through Fujitsu Kozuchi, starting in
September 2024. Takane (tentative
name) will be offered for private environments, such as private
clouds, to provide the best combination of outstanding AI services
in a guaranteed secure environment for enterprise data.
Takane (tentative name) is based on Cohere's latest LLM, Command
R+, which features enhanced retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
capabilities to mitigate hallucinations. It is a multilingual model
trained on proprietary data from scratch, ensuring safety and
transparency. Takane (tentative name) leverages Fujitsu's expertise
in Japanese language training and fine-tuning technologies, and
Cohere's enterprise-specific technologies.
Takane (tentative name) will focus on the critical needs of
specific industries and businesses to boost productivity and
efficiency. These models will be developed as a service that can be
utilized in private clouds for customers that require high
security, such as financial institutions, government agencies, and
R&D units.
In addition to its high performing generative AI models, Cohere
also has best-in-class Embed and Rerank models to provide advanced
enterprise search applications and RAG technology. These solutions
enable companies to unlock real business value from their data.
