The importance of infrastructure that can provide the computing resources required for inference processing in a stable and efficient manner is increasing as the use of generative AI expands. In addition, the company determined that owning the inference platform would enable it to provide services more reliably and at lower cost than procuring them from external providers as needed, thereby contributing to the establishment of a long-term earnings base.
