<\/p>\nSAKURA internet Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka; Founder, CEO, and President: Kunihiro Tanaka, hereafter \u201cSAKURA internet\u201d), a provider of digital infrastructure services, launched the \u00a0“SAKURA Gen AI PLATFORM”\u00a0 (hereafter the \u201cService\u201d) on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This Service offers vector databases for API*1<\/sup> and RAG*2<\/sup>, enabling fully managed generative AI applications to connect with foundation models such as large language models (LLMs) and “Koukaryoku” generative AI cloud services. Using these features facilitates the development of AI applications that leverage “Koukaryoku.”<\/p>\n This Service has been introduced at Uryuyama Academic Foundation, Kyoto University of the Arts on a trial basis. The trial utilizes “cotomi,” a generative AI developed by NEC, as the foundation model on the SAKURA AI Platform to operate “miibo,” a no-code AI chatbot building service developed by miibo Co., Ltd. Depending on the user\u2019s selection, this allows everything from foundations to applications to be handled using only domestic services.<\/p>\n We will further enhance the convenience of this Service based on trial feedback and plan to expand the range of foundation models and applications available on the platform through collaboration with various companies in Japan and abroad.<\/p>\n SAKURA internet is committed to contributing to the ongoing development of generative AI to meet the growing demand for AI technologies.<\/p>\n *1. Application Programming Interface: A framework that shares functions between different applications<\/span> 1.\u00a0 Enables selection from multiple foundation models<\/strong> 2. Enables immediate use in a serverless environment<\/strong> 3.

\n*2. Retrieval Augmented Generation: A technology that retrieves information by searching databases and enables large language models (LLMs) to generate responses using that information<\/span><\/p>\nAbout the SAKURA Gen AI PLATFORM<\/h2>\n
Features<\/h3>\n
\nOur company plans to continue collaborating with various companies in Japan and abroad to increase the selection of foundation models for this Service. Using the foundation models on this platform makes complete domestication of data transmission and storage possible.<\/p>\n
\nSince the “SAKURA Gen AI PLATFORM” handles most of the construction and management of the execution platform, a variety of foundation models can be readily used without specialized knowledge of LLMs. This means customers can focus on developing applications utilizing generative AI.<\/p>\n
\nThe foundation for this platform utilizes the “Koukaryoku” generative AI cloud services that we provide. “Koukaryoku” is equipped with “NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs” designed for AI development and machine learning.<\/p>\nApplication for use<\/h4>\n
