Nvidia supports Japan developing homegrown AI infrastructure

TOKYO - Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang said Thursday his company will help Japan develop a domestic artificial intelligence foundation model by providing advanced AI chips as part of its deeper ties with the country's technology industry.

The U.S. chip giant will work with Noetra Corp., a government-backed company, to build an AI factory that will provide the computing foundation to develop multimodal foundation models for physical AI, technology that enables robots and other devices to operate autonomously.
