Preferred Networks

We are a startup with ~200 members based in Tokyo, focusing on developing technology for Autonomous Driving, Robotics, and Bio-Healthcare. We love open source and are actively developing CuPy and the deep learning framework Chainer. We have one of the world’s largest private GPU clusters, with 1024 NVIDIA Tesla P100 and 512 V100 32Gb GPUs, and we are expanding it further using our own custom DL chip MN-Core in 2020. We have a strong emphasis on research, and our technical advisors are Pieter Abbeel (UC Berkeley), Takeo Igarashi (the University of Tokyo) and Kenji Fukumizu (the Institute of Statistical Mathematics). We continuously publish at top conferences like ICRA, ICCV, CVPR, ICLR, ICML, NIPS, NAACL, CHI, UIST, etc.
