Fixstars Aids Sony Honda Mobility's AFEELA
Fixstars Corporation, a leader in AI-driven software development and acceleration, has unveiled its latest innovation: AI Booster. By design, the cutting-edge AI acceleration platform extracts maximum performance from AI applications across a wide range of GPU environments, delivering immediate and sustained optimisation.
Unlocking the power of GPUs
AI Booster enables organisations to fully leverage their hardware resources, reducing costs while enhancing the efficiency of AI systems.
Satoshi Miki, President & CEO of Fixstars Corporation, explains:
"AI Booster reflects our dedication to improving GPU utilisation across various fields. It allows customers to tap into the full potential of their high-performance GPUs instantly and sustainably."
The platform builds on Fixstars' previous offering, Fixstars K4, a GPU cloud service featuring middleware for GPU acceleration and tools for large language model (LLM) development. Organisations across industries have already adopted the Fixstars K4 for LLM training and other AI initiatives.
Customisable and comprehensive solutions
AI Booster goes beyond basic optimisation. It is customisable to meet individual user requirements and is available as part of a comprehensive solution that includes procurement of high-performance GPU servers and other computing resources.
The flexibility allows AI Booster to thrive in major server environments and cater to unique user needs, offering unmatched cost-effectiveness by maximising GPU efficiency.
Driving innovation with Sony Honda Mobility
One of AI Booster's notable early adopters is Sony Honda Mobility Inc. (SHM), a joint venture established by Sony Group Corporation and Honda Motor Co., Ltd., in 2022. SHM is leveraging AI Booster to support AI machine learning for its autonomous driving technology in AFEELA, the company's upcoming mobility brand.
Izumi Kawanishi, President & COO of Sony Honda Mobility Inc., highlights the impact of AI Booster on SHM's development goals:
"By utilising Fixstars' AI Booster for AFEELA's autonomous driving AI machine learning, we can enhance our cloud-based GPU servers' computational efficiency and performance. It enables us to provide customers with highly accurate and reliable AI model systems."
Izumi emphasises SHM's commitment to redefining mobility, stating:
"At SHM, we aim to redefine the relationship between people and mobility, leveraging advanced sensing devices and cutting-edge AI to deliver innovative AD/ADAS solutions."
AI Booster accelerates the development of AFEELA's advanced autonomous driving capabilities by enhancing machine learning speed and optimising hardware performance.
AFEELA and its AI-powered advancements, supported by Fixstars' AI Booster, are currently on display at CES, the world's largest consumer electronics and technology trade show in Las Vegas, USA.
Pioneering the future of AI and mobility
Fixstars' launch of AI Booster signals a significant step forward in AI-driven acceleration. With its ability to optimise GPU performance instantly and sustainably, the platform positions Fixstars as a pivotal player in AI and mobility technology.
Satoshi notes: "We are pleased that our collaboration with Sony Honda Mobility supports the training of AFEELA's autonomous driving AI, contributing to safer, more comfortable mobility through accelerated learning speeds and optimised systems."
Through partnerships with innovators like SHM and a focus on high-performance computing, Fixstars continues to advance AI capabilities, paving the way for smarter, more efficient technologies in mobility and beyond.
