GMO Internet announced on May 7 that GMO GPU Cloud has been adopted as the next-generation robot development platform for the AI Robot Association (AIRoA). It supports the acceleration of innovative technology development and social implementation. GMO GPU Cloud is a high-performance GPU cloud service that began offering services in November 2024. It combines the NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPU with the high-speed network NVIDIA Spectrum-X and also has high-speed storage. It provides an optimal environment for next-generation AI development, such as learning large-scale language models (LLMs), developing multimodal AI, and processing complex and high-load AI workloads. Founded in December 2024, AIRoA has the mission of “innovating robot development technology through the fusion of robots and AI and promoting the use of robots in society,” and is promoting the collection of open, large-scale data across industrial fields and the development and publication of foundation models.
Member companies and others collect remote operation data of robots, which AIRoA aggregates. They are developing large-scale AI models based on aggregated data and making some of the results publicly available, but they needed a platform that could process huge amounts of data quickly and efficiently train and operate advanced and complex AI models. Tetsuya Ogata, chairman of the AI Robot Association, commented, “For Japan’s robot industry to maintain and strengthen its international competitiveness, smooth access to a world-class computing platform is essential. A high-performance computing platform is necessary to develop robot AI platform models that transcend industry boundaries.

GMO GPU Cloud has excellent scalability when configured as a multi-node, and demonstrates overwhelming performance as a platform for large-scale model learning and robot AI development. We decided to adopt it as the ideal infrastructure to accelerate our research and development. We also highly value the security of being a domestic service and the peace of mind of being supported by highly skilled and knowledgeable engineers.” Through GMO GPU Cloud, GMO Internet will support the development of Japan’s AI development ecosystem and the creation of AI-based innovation by domestic companies.
