CEO's Comment

Go Hamada (CEO, DEGIMA AI)

As the US and China lead the AI field, I am proud as a Japanese citizen to introduce the world's first AI product of its kind originating from Japan.

Today, PCs capable of running AI are priced comparably to used cars, and adults are constantly competing for GPUs. AI has inadvertently become out of reach for children. I built this cloud with the sole determination to leave behind a place where the next generation can build AI from scratch.

I believe that, like cars and motorcycles, AI can only be truly understood when it is disassembled and rebuilt. I want to leave an environment where the next generation can treat AI not as a black box, but as a tool they can dismantle, reassemble, and master.

Furthermore, while there are increasing opportunities to entrust tasks to AI agents in recent years, risks of unintended impacts on local PC files and development environments have been pointed out. This service is designed to separate AI tasks from the user's local environment, executing them in an isolated cloud environment, thereby realizing a development space where users can experiment safely.

We are starting with a small data center initially, but we will expand the scale according to demand. We intend to contribute, however modestly, to the development of AI in Japan.

Comment from GPU Computing Expert

Dr. Takahiro Harada (Fellow, AMD Headquarters)

An expert who has led R&D in the GPU computing domain at AMD headquarters for many years, including GPU physics simulation, ray tracing, machine learning, and HIP.

I use it myself, and it is a very good product. I believe it is a highly significant initiative that has realized the world's first cloud service where AMD Radeon GPUs can be easily used, through close communication between AMD and DEGIMA AI.

I look forward to the AMD ecosystem expanding further from here.

Comments from Leading Japanese Researchers

Professor Kenji Yasuoka (Keio University)

A leading figure in molecular dynamics simulation using supercomputers.

Mr. Hamada is a pioneer who focused on the potential of GPU-accelerated supercomputers and led their development worldwide long before AI achieved its current global prominence. He is a researcher who won the ACM Gordon Bell Prize with the GPU supercomputer 'DEGIMA', and an entrepreneur who has linked that outstanding expertise to social implementation.

He possesses the ability to transform computing resources whose value the market has not yet fully recognized into highly practical computing infrastructure. I have great expectations for this product as well, as an initiative connected to the technical lineage Mr. Hamada has pioneered.

Professor Rio Yokota (Institute of Science Tokyo)

Co-developer of the domestic LLM 'Swallow' and researcher in the high-performance computing field.

In AI research and development, it is very important to have more choices for computing resources. Until now, opportunities to easily use AMD GPUs on the cloud have been limited, so I am very grateful for this initiative.

It is also welcome news from an academic perspective. I support DEGIMA's new challenge.

* According to the company's research. As a public service primarily targeting AMD Radeon GPUs (including the RX series) and offering everything from sign-up to startup and connection on the cloud.
