A platform to support the transition from Web2 to Web3, building the infrastructure of a new era
alt GPU Cloud is built on the technical knowledge and optimization expertise alt has accumulated in LLM development and operation. It provides a high-performance computing environment specialized for AI development, accelerating AI adoption and utilization for businesses.
Japan faces a serious shortage of AI-specialized data centers. To address this situation, alt will build a customizable and flexible GPU resource pool tailored to the size and needs of each company. Additionally, drawing on experience gained from LLM development and operation, alt will provide AI workload–optimized infrastructure with a high-efficiency architecture design specialized for AI processing.
Thanks to its experience in LLM development and operation, alt possesses the technical know-how for directly applying GPU cluster optimization. The company has been selected for the GENIAC (Generative AI Accelerator Challenge) project promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) to strengthen domestic generative AI development capabilities. In this new initiative, alt aims to apply high-performance Japanese LLM construction technology to the data center business— building a massive AI computing infrastructure that includes the largest GPU core in Japan. As a provider of various AI computing units, alt will offer services through hardware selection, data center operation, and environmentally conscious power supply based on the goal of providing optimal AI use cases. While aligning with the national strategy of strengthening domestic AI computing infrastructure, alt aims to be a model case for sustainable private-sector data center management.
