Nvidia Recruits Japan's Industrial Giants Into Its AI Platform

Twenty two Japanese manufacturers, from Sony to FANUC, will build physical AI models on Nvidia's Cosmos framework.

  • FANUC, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Yaskawa Electric lead 22 Japanese firms joining, announced July 15.
  • Sony, SoftBank, Honda R&D and Hitachi commit too, spanning electronics, telecom and mobility.
  • Cosmos supplies open models, datasets and tools to train machines before real deployment.

Why it matters: Whoever supplies the model that teaches a machine to see decides more than whoever builds the arm.
