Cohere teams up with Fujitsu to launch Japanese LLM ‘Takane’ for enterprises
As part of the partnership, Fujitsu will also serve as the exclusive provider of the Japanese language models and services developed with Cohere.
A few months ago, OpenAI ventured into Japan with a Tokyo hub – its first in Asia, and before that, rival Anthropic partnered with Singaporean telecom giant SKT to work on a custom AI model for it. With this partnership, the company will combine these technologies with Cohere’s frontier models, starting with enterprise-grade Command R+ – which provides best-in-class RAG with citation to reduce inaccuracies, multilingual coverage in ten key business languages and a powerful Tool Use API for automating complex workflows. While many may not consider Cohere’s partnership with Fujitsu as big a move as setting up a dedicated AI hub (like OpenAI), the approach will surely give the startup access to a broader customer base from Japan.
