Digirise Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Chaen Masahiro) will begin offering "Corporate LLM," a service that supports the development of unique large-scale language models (LLMs) tailored to the needs of companies.

This service utilizes open source LLMs to help you build your own secure, highly customized LLMs.

In recent years, as the use of LLMs has accelerated globally, it has become essential to develop original LLMs to address issues specific to each company. Digirise will contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of Japanese companies by leveraging its extensive development experience, Japan's leading GPU resources, and Japan's top-class LLM development team.

■ Background: Accelerating use of AI in companies and the rise of open source LLMs

In recent years, with the emergence of LLMs such as ChatGPT by OpenAI, AI technology has undergone rapid development, and the use of AI in business globally is accelerating. There has been an increase in the development of unique LLMs optimized for each company, particularly among major US IT companies, with the average LLM-related expenditures of companies reaching $7 million in 2023. By 2024,That spending is expected to grow two to five times.

In this context, open source LLMs are on the rise, primarily in the U.S. Open source LLMs not only reduce license costs, but also allow for advanced customization through fine-tuning using your own data, and can be operated in a secure environment.In fact, the US company 41% (※1) is already using the open source LLM.

If the performance is good, more than 80% of companies are considering using the open source LLM.

Although the use of LLMs is gaining momentum in Japan, many companies have not yet decided to develop their own LLMs. Digirise believes that in order for Japanese companies to succeed in global competition, it is essential to develop their own strategic LLMs.

■Benefits of developing your own LLM

1. Use specialized for company-specific business operations

   – Optimized for company-specific tasks by learning specialized and company terminology

   – It is possible to build an LLM that reflects in-house knowledge and know-how

2. Achieving high processing speed

   – Achieve the processing speed required for your business by selecting the appropriate model size and architecture

   – Stress-free response possible even in tasks that require real-time response

3. Ensuring information security

   – Eliminate the risk of confidential information leaking by operating in an on-premise environment

   – Operation can be tailored to in-house security standards

Given these benefits, it would be desirable to build your own LLM in parallel with using a generic LLM in the following domains:

■Domains where unique LLMs are particularly effective

1. Sensitive domains

   – Industries that handle a lot of personal and confidential information, such as finance, medicine, and law

   – In a situation where data leakage cannot be tolerated, it is essential to operate an on-premise, proprietary LLM

2. Domains that require high-speed processing at the edge

   – Industries that require real-time processing on-site, such as manufacturing, robotics, and automotive

   – Our unique LLM is effective because it can complete processing quickly on edge devices without communicating with the cloud.

3. Highly specialized domains

   – Industries that require highly specialized knowledge, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and materials science

   - Unique LLM with extensive knowledge of technical terms and related knowledge enables highly accurate natural language processing

As such, some companies have unique challenges that cannot be addressed by generic LLMs. For such companies, developing their own LLMs can be a source of competitive advantage. By building an LLM optimized for their company and using it strategically, they can establish leadership in their industry.

In order to meet the needs of such companies, Digirise provides a unique LLM development support service called "Corporate LLM" that utilizes open source LLM. We will contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of our customers by pooling our knowledge and know-how.
